Misbah (Mish) Talat

An almost golden egg: curious by nature, strategic by design, always adding a little heart to every decision and still warming in the nest. :)

Who I am (In a nutshell or an eggshell)

I’m a designer, a dreamer, and a relentless question-asker: quiet on the outside, but with a mind that never stops turning.


I call myself an almost golden egg. Why “almost”? Because the golden egg in Aesop’s fable was perfect; a finished product. I’m not there.


I’m in progress, still hatching, still learning. The “almost” is a reminder that I’m not done, and honestly, I don’t want to be.


In the fable, a farmer had a goose that laid a golden egg every day. Impatient for more, he killed the goose to get them all at once and ended up with nothing.


The lesson? Patience and care matter. Chasing the short-term destroys long-term value. That’s baked into how I design: not sprinting after the quick win, but building systems and stories that last.


So, “almost golden egg” isn’t a brag. It’s living in the space between potential and progress: curious by nature, strategic by design, and always adding a little heart along the way.

(Not-so-humble) Praise from others

Because sometimes, it’s nice to hear it from someone else.

Let’s make something together (Whenever, Wherever 🎶)

I move fast, I break things (responsibly), and I build with care. I also ask a lot of questions, overthink the details, and sometimes do way too much discovery before committing to a solution. But hey, all within your timelines. (Except my brain is working overtime always.)


So, if our paths are meant to cross, let’s talk. Whenever, wherever, we’re meant to be together. 🎶 (Yes, that’s Shakira. And yes, this is your sign to reach out.)
