What I'm looking for

I am looking for a collaborative environment that values user-centered design and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am a dynamic Senior UX Researcher with nearly 5 years of comprehensive experience in usability testing, user interviews, and data analysis. My proven track record of enhancing user satisfaction and engagement through strategic research and design innovation has equipped me with the skills to apply Design Thinking principles effectively. I thrive in collaborative environments, translating complex user needs into actionable design solutions.

In my recent role as the lead UX researcher for the National Bank of Egypt's digital transformation project, I drove user-centered design decisions across critical banking journeys. I planned and conducted comprehensive research activities, including stakeholder interviews and usability testing, ensuring that research insights were translated into actionable design and business decisions. My experience spans various sectors, including governmental projects in Saudi Arabia, where I successfully reduced support tickets by 30% through targeted usability testing and research strategies.
