Duncan Sham — a British-born, New York-based designer, product builder, and creative problem-solver.

I’m the co-founder and product manager at AppMail, an AI-powered campaign design tool that helps marketers and business owners craft stunning email and social campaigns faster than ever. I’ve been hands-on from day one, leading everything from user research and UI/UX to roadmap planning and product vision. I don’t just design experiences—I obsess over solving real problems for real people.

When I’m not obsessing over product design, I’m a multi-faceted designer with a love for visual storytelling, branding, and all things creative. My creative roots span from digital and print to tactile designs—giving me a wide lens to approach design with both versatility and creativity. Whether I’m building an interactive interface, crafting a design system, or shaping a brand identity, my process always begins with empathy and leads with intention.

My design work has led to some pretty cool milestones: like designing a billboard campaign in the heart of Times Square for Wrigley’s, helping launch Gap in Taiwan with a story-driven brochure campaign, and crafting seasonal collections for the clothing brand Artful Dodger (as worn by Jay Z, Eminem, and Samuel L. Jackson).

For me, design is about more than just aesthetics—it’s about solving the right problem, telling a compelling story, and creating something that resonates. I’m always experimenting, evolving, and building with heart, hustle, and just enough quirkiness to keep things interesting.
