Founder & Designer @ Labo Mono

About

Hey! I'm Ali, creative director and founder of Labo Mono. A brand that crafts creative and more durable gear that bridges city and the great outdoors. After 9 years living in London, I'm now living and working remotely in different parts of Europe, while designing new products for Labo Mono and exploring the trails around. Prior to this, I worked as a UX and Product designer in London. Helping different companies define and design their digital product features, test and iterate prototypes, as well as create a brand's look and feel and deliver an easy-to-use product and memorable experience. I've been lucky enough to work for successful startups, charities, and corporations, in various fields ( automotive, healthcare, football, activewear, Video On-demand, ...) from defining MVPs, to improving existing products and features. In 2014, I co-founded MedPics, the 1st clinical case sharing app for French healthcare professionals. In September 2016 we raised €300K. Today, we are counting over 60,000 users (doctors, nurses, and medical students). In 2018, I founded Labo Mono, an outdoor brand with the mission of making functional gear to explore the world with confidence.
