What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters creativity and collaboration, where I can leverage my design skills to create impactful user experiences while continuing to grow professionally.

I am a Product Designer with over 5 years of experience dedicated to solving complex problems across various business sectors. My expertise lies in implementing UX best practices and leveraging design and systems thinking to create usable digital products that not only enhance user experience but also drive revenue and create value for businesses and individuals alike.

Currently, I serve as a Senior Product Designer at Yassir, where I contributed to the development of a comprehensive design system comprising over 200 components. My role involves providing tailored guidance and conducting masterclass sessions on advanced UX practices, ensuring quality and consistency across design components. My previous experience at Venture Garden Group allowed me to mentor over 750 aspiring designers, fostering the next generation of design talent while coordinating the creation of an in-house design system that maintained visual consistency across all products.

Throughout my career, I have successfully designed user experiences that significantly increased product adoption, such as a 60% rise in Yassir's e-payment feature. I thrive in collaborative, agile environments and am passionate about using user research to inform design decisions, ensuring that the products I create resonate with users and meet their needs effectively.
