UX designer developing Rafiq, an animal adoption app for Egypt, with research, usability testing, and a Figma design system.

Egypt
Message

I'm designing Rafiq, an end-to-end mobile app case study for a unified animal adoption platform connecting Egyptian shelters through a standardized process. I’m working across UX research, usability testing, and high-fidelity prototyping.

For Rafiq, I audited six existing platforms, developed three user personas, and wrote goal statements grounded in user needs. I also ran unmoderated usability testing with 11 participants in Egypt using UXtweak.

I built a design system in Figma with color tokens, a typography scale, and a component library. The case study includes high-fidelity screens for onboarding, an AI match quiz, animal profiles, adoption, and impact tracking.

My data science and management information systems background shapes how I approach design: I look for patterns in human behavior and build solutions that work. Earlier, as a Web Developer at Information Technology Center, Minya University, I built web applications using C#, which informs my attention to technical feasibility.
