About
A designer working where systems, services, and people meet.
Aliza works at the point where product design, systems thinking, and communication strategy meet — building for the people existing systems tend to leave out.
Designing not just interfaces, but the conditions under which people can actually use them.
At Ideate Innovation, that means leading end-to-end product strategy for clients like MMBL and HealthOps: financial and health products built for users that most digital tooling quietly assumes away. Comprehension, trust, and access are treated as design constraints from day one, not retrofitted later.
As Communications Lead for DAI Pakistan, she orchestrates engagement strategy for initiatives like the Climate Finance Accelerator, a UK Government (FCDO) initiative built with DAI and PwC — aligning government bodies, investors, and startups behind a single, coordinated launch.
As a Fulbright Scholar, she completed her thesis at NYU's Interactive Telecommunications Program: What She Carried, a VR archive built from photogrammetry and oral history — a reminder that speculative, hands-on making is still one of the sharpest tools for understanding a system before you try to redesign it. Earlier roles as a product designer at Productbox and a creative technologist with Jack Morton shaped that range.
