Computer Science + Design at UIC

I like making software feel clear, visual, and worth using.

I am Momen, a CS + Design student at UIC. I care about the space where code, layout, product thinking, and small interaction details meet.

About Me

I move between code and design, and I like the overlap.

I am drawn to projects where the logic and the interface have to work together. I enjoy the problem-solving side of computer science, but I also care a lot about hierarchy, pacing, accessibility, and whether the final thing feels comfortable for a real person to use.

My work has grown through class projects, design studies, and products I am building on my own. Sometimes that means debugging a C++ program. Sometimes it means making a poster system feel intentional. Lately, it also means building AI tools that help people make better creative decisions.

01

Code as Structure

Python, C++, and web projects where state, rules, and feedback have to stay clear.

02

Design as Clarity

Layouts, color, type, and interaction details that make ideas easier to read.

03

Research as Care

Projects that ask better questions about data, trust, and human impact.

FrameKind

A connected design-intelligence workspace for moving from critique to stronger creative decisions.

I am building FrameKind from product strategy through interface design and implementation. It helps creators analyze screens, URLs, and front-end work; talk through tradeoffs with an AI coach; generate focused Studio directions; review portfolios; and keep projects, brand context, notes, and usage in one place.
