Always pushing the limits of design to drive positive impacts.

Rock-solid (but not boring) leadership

You can call me Akim!

A Kuala Lumpur-based design leader with 5 years of experience taking things apart and figuring out how they tick. That curiosity translates into crafting awesome user experiences, which is what I'm all about at ServiceRocket. We're on a mission to become the most reliable Atlassian partner for thousands of businesses around the world.

I also lead the team at Zensite, a top UX agency in Singapore and Malaysia. I am very active in and connected to design leadership communities to stay updated on product and leadership topics and hot debates. You always have to keep networking. Let's chat about design!

Key values and principles

The things I believe and do

I'm all about creating experiences that bridge the gap between people and business success. That passion translates into a few core values that drive everything I do.

People are at the heart of everything I design. Understanding their needs, motivations, and pain points is the foundation for crafting experiences that truly resonate. Team + Users + Business= People. Great design must drive actual business results.

People first and foremost

Plan and hands-on on the vision

Fail and learn fast to win big

Always pushing the limits

  • Nikko

    UX Researcher & Designer @ Objective Experience

    He embodies the makings of a great leader and mentor, and I know it's true because he guided me in areas in my professional development that I have struggled to improve upon on my own. I've had 2 sessions with Hakim, all of which he provided actionable input that I would apply, and saw better results each time.

  • Yaz

    Product Designer @ ServiceRocket

    Hakim is not one to settle for mediocrity. If the sky is the limit, he would find a way to push past it and set a new benchmark. That is the Hakim Nizamuddin that I work with. And it is a great honour to be part of his team.

  • Terry

    Web Developer @ Crescent Bank

    When it came time for me to be vulnerable about my current career circumstances, he was quick to listen and ready to help with his wisdom gained from prior experience. He was able to relate with me concerning interactions with higher-level positions in the company spoke with encouraging words and empathized where I struggled most. Thanks for being a great mentor Hakim.

  • David

    Co-founder @ Zensite

    He always looks at things from the first principal standpoint and creates solutions that bring tremendous value to the team he is working with. I can highly recommend Hakim for his problem-solving and product design skills.
