I design trust-heavy workflows where the usual assumptions break: low-trust payments, weak networks, old devices, multilingual classrooms, and live-service operations.
I work from research and product direction through UX/UI, design systems, prototyping, and design-engineering handoff.

Senior / Staff Product Designer with ten years across fintech, edtech and AI-assisted products. I design systems that survive contact with real users, unreliable networks and difficult edge cases.
most products don’t fail in the happy path. they fail in the unclear state, the dropped connection, the payment someone is scared to make, the assumption nobody tested, the handoff no one designed. that is where i work.
i learned this building for markets that punish lazy assumptions. nigerians whose banks had already failed them. farmers sponsoring crops from a phone with one bar of signal. teachers importing lessons on a connection that drops every few minutes. you can’t design around those conditions from a comfortable mental model of the user. you have to go and find where the product breaks.
you’ll find me biking or running through kite beach, playing football on al barsha pitches, reading robert ludlum or writing my observations of the world around me over coffee and some afrobeats music in a cafe somewhere in dubai.
