I'm Iman—I design, build, and ship neuro-inclusive tools for living, learning and working.

I'm an an applied researcher and design strategist helping people navigate everyday life with less friction and greater agency.
Human-friendly tools for educators ready to swap cluttered chaos for calm, functional clarity that holds up in real classrooms.

I investigate how daily systems shape human life, then design & test better alternatives.
