Mubin is a self-taught visual designer and curator who recently got obsessed with agentic coding... building the apps that used to only exist on his design files.
from bangladesh, doing a bachelor's in interface design at multimedia university (malaysia)... which i only mention because i paid for it, not because it taught me anything worth listing.
started youtube in 2016 to learn english by talking to the camera, because i was too scared to talk to actual people. took years, negative comments and all. now i don't translate in my head before speaking. that's the real win, not the subscriber count.
ran a motion design + graphic design channel from 2022 to 2023. While completeing 200+ freelance projects. 15k subs, half a million views, 100k+ digital downloads. that's actually where the design career started, not in any classroom.
learned uiux from instagram carousels, youtube videos (and got 2 course and 1 ebook from Malewicz).
Then no-code web dev like wordpress, webflow and framer. Started giving full focus on framer since its early stage of and been workign with framer since 2023.
Ran three solo agencies for different niches since 2022, burned them, and learned few things each time.
then ai showed up... and instead of panicking about it, i just used it. ai agents, agentic coding, the whole thing. it let me take years of designs sitting in figma files and turn them into actual working apps.
i research faster, iterate faster, ship faster. ai isn't replacing me, it's the reason i can do more than ever before.
which is also why i think the self-taught path makes more sense now than it ever did. ai closed the gap between "i can design this" and "i can build this." the people who'll win aren't the ones with the right degree... they're the ones who kept learning and kept shipping.
Some of the apps I built for myself mostly around productivity and finance.
i'm not a programmer. i've been investing in ai agents and agentic coding since last year. that let me transform a lot of designs sitting in my figma files into actual working apps. right now they're all for me. built around how i actually use them. not how some product manager thinks i should.

retro gameboy inspired. color premade designs. my sister wanted to upload her doll images to draw on. so i built that for her.
somehow fcked
multi-currency. detailed ui. a fun way to track how fcked you're getting. spending. income. all of it. tracked.
money gone
expenses via chat. natural language input. tell the bot what you spent. it logs it. no forms. no apps. just text the bot.
lemme see
time tracking. lightweight. tracks my time on every app, browser, system. inspired by rize but way smaller. 15 to 30mb ram. under 50mb file size. modern design language. doesn't eat your machine alive.

for the adhd brain. track everything. analytics. a real system in place. so you don't forget. so you don't juggle. built around how the adhd brain actually works.
made privately studio. framer websites only. for digital creators.
that's the day job. ran 3 solo design agencies for different niches since 2022. burned them down or sold them off. learned the same thing each time. now i focus on one thing. building websites and funnels for content creators with 100k+ followers. human voice. real conversion. not "transform your business with cutting-edge solutions" garbage.
i figure things out. somehow. no method, no system, no framework. try the thing until it works, write down what happened, then show whoever's curious. MubinDID is how i document the self-taught journey, finding out layers of doings, teaching it raw while the confusion is still fresh.
build the thing. not a course about the thing.
break it twice before you really get it.
teach it raw. while it's fresh. confusion is the lesson.
no gatekeeping. if i figured it out, you can too.
favourite music band...cigarettes after sex, found through a movie clip - columbus (2017) with apocalypse in the background music (ig it was 2021). Also a good movie with drama, calming story, calming setup. one of the few movies i can rewatch and feel nothing bad about. design language i like the most, green, retro, older graphics. the soft side of digital nostalgia.
