Senior Product DesignerDubai, UAE
Open to new roles

I build products from nothing, ship them to millions, and never once design something I don't believe in. Cairo made me. Dubai stretched me. The work speaks.

The Story

It started with a
blank screen in Cairo.

I joined CIB — Egypt's largest private bank — as their very first designer. No system, no process, no brief. Just an engineering team and millions of Egyptians who deserved better.

I spent two years building from scratch — the design function, the systems, the culture of research. Then Valeo, the global automotive giant: a design system across twelve product lines and a digital transformation that saved $2M a year. Then Dubai — and I never stopped asking: what does this person actually need?

Today I lead design at Beyond ONE across MENA. I'm targeting roles where design shapes the product — not just polishes it.

Beyond ONE.
Where I am now.

Leading design across two major product workstreams at one of MENA's fastest-growing telecoms groups. Full ownership from research to shipped product — consumer apps and enterprise platforms.

I own Arabic and RTL design across all brands. Not a feature added at the end — baked into every decision from day one.

CIB
The Work · 02–03 · Cairo, Egypt

Two years.
One bank.
Everything.

CIB wasn't one project — it was a body of work. Intranet for thousands of employees, a pay app designed for its three million digital customers, the credit card suite. I didn't just ship screens — I built the design function, the component library, and the culture that made it all possible.

The numbers went the right way — mobile banking adoption grew 50% in twelve months across 3M+ customers. But one of these projects never launched. Apple Pay arrived in Egypt before we could ship. The design was ready. That's its own story.

The Work · 04 · UAE

BAY Platform —
booking the sea.

Watersports and cruise booking for the UAE. My brief: make it feel as effortless as the ocean itself. I redesigned the full booking flow — web and mobile. Abandonment fell. Conversion climbed.

Design is also
obsession.

Outside product work, I make things because they need to exist. Like a complete brand — identity, packaging, unboxing — built from zero in six weeks.

Let's make
something
great.

If you've read this far, you already know whether we'd work well together.


I'm looking for a team where design is a first-class citizen. Where I do the best work of my career. Where the product genuinely matters to the people using it.
