Abdelrhman Mohamed Ahmed

UI/UX Designer · Product Designer

Cairo, Egypthi@theshaaer.com

Summary

UI/UX and product designer, 3+ years across web and mobile, with a Computer Science background that lets me design the screen and the system behind it together. I take products from user research through prototyping to development-ready design systems, and I treat accessibility as a foundation, not a final checklist. I do my best work embedded in a cross-functional team.
