What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead 0-to-1 product design and ship polished UX/UI through design systems, rapid prototyping, and strong cross-functional collaboration. I want work where design meaningfully drives engagement and where I can keep exploring multi-vertical digital experiences.

I’m a Product Designer with an M.Des and 1.5 years of corporate experience plus 3+ years of freelance visual design. I bring a strong balance of 0-to-1 product thinking and advanced product visualization to turn complex ideas into clear, usable interfaces.

Right now, I’m spearheading a multi-vertical UAE super-app, architecting intuitive digital experiences in Figma and Framer. I’ve designed 50+ high-fidelity screens, engineered a scalable design system with 400+ reusable components, and helped increase user engagement rates by up to 40%.

Earlier, I led end-to-end UI/UX and web development for e-commerce using Framer, improving user visits and engagement by almost 40%. I also partner with 30+ freelance clients to deliver branding and digital design—often moving their engagement metrics by ~30%—and I’ve supported UX improvements like a 60% user satisfaction outcome through research-driven prototyping.
