Naram Ziady, Product Designer in Pittsburgh, PA
Naram Ziady is a product designer based in Pittsburgh, PA, with a Computer Science background, designing web and mobile products, design systems, and the occasional poster.
Selected works
- PropertyCard, Landlords aged 40 to 75 were paying for a platform they couldn’t operate: built for a tech-savvy user who didn’t exist, it turned managing your own property into a technical skill. My job was to make it require none.
- Florist Heaven, Most houseplants die soon after purchase. People buy on looks, get no guidance on care, and the store disappears after checkout. Selling plants was never the problem; keeping them alive was.
- Aquro: Smart Shower, Smart showers fail exactly where showers are used: wet hands and steam make screens unusable, and when the app or connection dies, the shower dies with it. The convenience they sell costs the one control a shower can’t lose.
- Toters: Butler, Butler lets you request delivery of almost anything, but you committed to an order before knowing the cost or the wait, across screens where fixing one detail meant starting the whole request over.
About
I grew up in Lebanon and studied computer science at Notre Dame University. Then a month after I graduated I switched to design because I realized I enjoyed the whole process more than just the code section. Since then I’ve redesigned a property platform for UK landlords, built an internal tool for a study-abroad company, worked with some friends and agencies on some sites, taught skiing in Killington 30 years after my dad had taught there, and started a poster brand that sold over 280 prints in its first year and still going!

“Naram is an excellent web designer, who excelled in delivering a quality product in an efficient and effective manner. He was specific in understanding my goals, and also kind enough to explain some of the finer points of web design. His prices were reasonable for the top-notch work he performs, and I’d 10/10 recommend him for any web design needs you may have!”
