What I'm looking for

I am looking for a collaborative environment that values creativity and innovation, with opportunities for professional growth and impactful projects.

As a dedicated UX/UI Designer, I thrive on creating user-centric designs that enhance digital experiences. Currently, I work at Thawani Pay in Muscat, Oman, where I design and implement user experiences across various platforms. My role involves collaborating with cross-functional teams to ensure cohesive and optimal user experiences, gathering design requirements, and conducting usability tests to refine UI components.

Previously, I served as a UX Design Session Lead at Udacity, where I supported over 100 students in their Nanodegree program, leading engaging sessions and providing personalized technical support. My experience also includes leading the redesign of websites at eMushrif and managing web content and UX strategies at Peroptyx. I am passionate about leveraging user feedback to drive design improvements and create impactful digital solutions.
