Senior UI/UX Designer

In my role as the Design Studio Team Leader, I led our UI/UX projects from start to finish, focusing on making things easy and intuitive for users. I was hands-on in creating designs that not only looked good but also functioned well for our projects and brand. I worked diligently to maintain our brand's consistency across all mediums by creating and adhering to design guidelines. I took charge of ensuring our websites were visually appealing and user-friendly. I also contributed to transforming our designs into functional features. I also worked on enhancing the user experience for new UAE’s Digital Bank Mobile App and two Financial Apps, aiming to improve user satisfaction and engagement before leaving the company.
