What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I lead end-to-end product design, collaborate cross-functionally, build scalable design systems, and deliver measurable usability and business impact in a growth-oriented, user-focused team.

I am a results-driven Senior UI/UX Designer with 10+ years of experience creating user-centered digital products across the UAE and global markets. I specialize in UX research, wireframing, prototyping, and building scalable design systems for web, mobile, SaaS, and enterprise platforms.

Throughout my career I've led end-to-end product design for enterprise and consumer projects, conducting stakeholder workshops, usability testing, and user research to inform decisions. My work has improved user satisfaction and engagement, including redesigns that raised satisfaction by 20–30% and a mobile app launch that boosted engagement by 30%.

I bring strong proficiency with Figma, Adobe XD, Photoshop, Illustrator, InVision, Miro, and Jira, and I apply accessible, responsive design practices across fintech, SaaS, real estate, crypto, e-commerce, social, travel, and healthcare domains. I also implement and maintain design systems to ensure consistency and efficiency.

I hold a BSc in Computer Science and multiple UX certifications (Google UX Design, IBM Enterprise Design Thinking) and am open to relocation to the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar or other locations. I focus on delivering measurable usability gains and aligning UX with business objectives.
