How it's done

01

UX & UI

After initial sketches, research, and user flows to determine the optimal positioning for your product, I build an ultra-flexible design system in Figma, and use it to create a UI that makes an impact with customers and achieves your business objectives.

02

Motion

I use Protopie or Principle to design rich interactive prototypes that we can test out before committing to code, and After Effects for more advanced animation and presentation.

03

3D

I use Blender to model 3D objects and immersive scenes for use in our UI. It’s also immensely powerful for photorealistically presenting your product in its best light and building excitement for customers.

About me

I've worked with seasoned teams to reimagine the digital landscape for some of the Middle East's leading organisations, including new instant product journeys for First Abu Dhabi Bank, the website for the launch of the UAE Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technology, onboarding for Bupa and implementing Abu Dhabi Ports Group's design system across all nine subsidiary sites.

I'm driven by my curiosity and love for the craft – to go beyond the ordinary and create more immersive experiences that have a greater impact on users. I use animation to reflect the natural world and play into our intuition, and I build ultra-flexible design systems in Figma that supercharge design efficiency and bridge the gap with code.

I believe every product should have a purpose – to inspire change, to enhance and simplify or to solve a real-world problem. When an idea is sparked by a genuine need and a strong foundation, there are no limits on what we can create.
