About
01Who I am
A product designer who came up through Computer Science, so I read the system and the screen at the same time. Fourteen products shipped, a 265-screen health app led solo, and the only designer at a Forbes 30 Under 30 startup.
02The thread
Based in Cairo, building for a Copenhagen HQ. Arabic and English. Research, systems, and code. The thread isn't one skill; it's that I'd rather carry the hard part than hand it to you.
03The answer
So here's the whole job: I overthink so you don't have to. You won't see the hundred decisions underneath. You'll just feel that it worked.

A landing page bleeding users because B2B and B2C were fighting on one screen. An AI chat people didn't know how to prompt. A payment wall that only took credit cards, in a country that runs on InstaPay and Fawry. And no design system holding any of it together. I owned all of it.
RTL-first from day zero, not a translation. 69% of women abandon a health app within two weeks, so trust had to be designed into every screen. Patient app plus clinic app, iOS-first, with the period tracker as the core, not a feature.
A 25-year-old platform on Bootstrap, a brand kit that wasn't even finalised, and an audience aged 17 to 70. The number one complaint was search. I built a four-layer token system with light and dark modes and shipped it as JSON and CSS.
Travelers won't come without agencies; agencies won't list without travelers. So: 200+ surveys, agency workflow interviews, and 6 personas before a single wireframe. Group booking was broken everywhere, so each traveler fills their own details inside one shared flow.
Built like it would ship, not like a demo. 80+ screens across three portals (student, instructor, admin), accessibility-first from day one. The committee could tell the difference between a product and a prototype.
Worked with teams & clients at
Method
Tutoruu, four major redesigns in eight months, solo.
Taa Marbuta, a design system before the first screen.
Wandr, 200+ surveys before a single wireframe.
Claude Code + Figma MCP, daily practice. Not a buzzword.
Taa Marbuta, Arabic-first, never retrofitted.
67+ podcast episodes for Arab designers.
Teaching & Studio
Closing the gap in Arabic design education, one episode at a time. Original UX, grounded in the MENA reality.

Exceptionally disciplined, genuinely passionate, and relentlessly detail-oriented. If you need someone who pairs reliability with creative drive, Abdelrhman is the person you want on your team.
What stood out was his ability to translate the product vision into a bilingual experience that felt seamless and inclusive. Rare to find a designer who combines aesthetics, usability, and business alignment so effortlessly.
He completed comprehensive design and research across 50+ screens for mobile and desktop, and supported other teams along the way. True passion for the craft.
His UI/UX work had real impact on our process at Luftborn. As a frontend developer, I love how organized and thoughtful his designs are; the focus on simplicity makes implementation much smoother.

I'll take it from zero to one, and the systems from one to many.
