Dubai Marina, United Arab Emirates
I’m a multi-disciplinary UX Designer based in Dubai working with clients remotely and locally. Over the years I’ve worked in a variety of roles encompassing user experience and user interface design and all things digital.

My process starts with a pencil and a blank paper which leads to low and high fidelity wire-framing, information architecture, and user experience research whether it's a small Mobile App Design or a large Website Design.
