i'm farhan mubin. on the internet i go by oniongulp. og works too.
design consultant for b2b and b2c. run renamelayer.com — where i sell framer templates. that's the day job. used to do motion design (2021–2023), don't anymore.
this place (somehow.fyi) is everything else. tools i build for myself, videos about figuring things out, and whatever else i'm obsessed with that week.
doing this since 2015.
photography first. then motion graphics (2021–2023, retired that). now design consultant for b2b and b2c companies, plus framer templates at renamelayer.com. that's the day job.

ran a few agencies. worked with more around the world. 837k views across the channels. past clients: publishing, BI tools, UGC agencies, coaches, AI writing tools, heavy industry. plus a few i can't name.
i figure things out. somehow.
no method. no system. no framework. just try the thing until it works, write down what i did, then show whoever's curious.
"somehow" is the most honest name i could give it. i figured it out somehow. this is the FYI.
- 01.build the thing. not a course about the thing.
- 02.break it twice before you really get it.
- 03.teach it raw. while it's fresh. confusion is the lesson.
- 04.no gatekeeping. if i figured it out, you can too.
tools i made because i needed them and they didn't exist yet. i'm the only user. maybe i'll release some publicly one day, not open source.
// not open source. built for me. shipped if i feel like it.
