I studied physics before design. It taught me to check the facts first, and to build a strong structure before I make things look nice. I still work this way today.
In my day job I design car-loan and leasing software at NETSOL Technologies, and I take care of the design system the whole team uses. In my own time I work with founders in the US and the UK on all kinds of products. The industry is never the point for me. Clear, honest design works everywhere.
Right now I'm looking for a senior design role in the Gulf. I'm also building my own small studio, called Method. The idea is simple: get the system right first, and the rest becomes easy.
