I’m Bilal Harry Lindemann, a design and research leader and creative technologist based in Dubai. I lead teams, shape product direction and stay close to the work, from research and interaction design to design systems and working software.

I’m curious about how things work, why they work that way and what could make them better. Building is part of how I learn, test ideas and connect design decisions with what people actually use.

I co-founded Lindemann Rock, an independent design and technology consultancy. Alongside client work, I build tools and products, develop Craft CMS plugins and mentor designers moving deeper into technology.

Available for leadership roles, consulting and project work with agencies, brands and product teams.

Portfolio · About · Get in touch

• Proof-Carrying Workflows: workflows for reviewing AI-assisted development through explicit authority, evidence and verification.
• Wayzi: accessibility tools in development, starting with page navigation that gives people more control over how they move through content.
• Token Framework: a developing foundation for carrying design intent across brands, themes and platforms through semantic tokens.
• Craft CMS tools: plugins and shared infrastructure built around recurring client needs, then refined through implementation and feedback.

My work covers forms, content workflows, search, links, messaging and integrations. Shared infrastructure keeps common behaviour consistent across the collection.

I work across design, research and engineering. The tools change; the aim stays the same: understand the problem, make thoughtful decisions and build something people can use.
