Product and UX designer in Cairo, working remotely
I am Abdelrhman Mohamed, also known as TheShaaer: a product and UX designer in Cairo. I research, design systems, and take products from zero to one, with a focus on Arabic-first and RTL experiences. I can work remotely, or relocate for the right opportunity.
Updated:
What I design
- 0-to-1 product design: from an ambiguous problem to a flow a team can build
- Arabic-first and RTL UX, including typography, numbers and mixed-direction text
- Design systems that developers can build from with confidence
- UX research and accessibility, designed in rather than added at the end
- AI-assisted design workflows for complex SaaS
Three ways to work together
- Add product design capacity: part-time support for an ambiguous 0-to-1 product, an Arabic-first experience, or a system your developers can build from.
- Bring a focused product problem: one problem across structure, UX direction, design systems or a challenging workflow that needs resolution.
- Book a consultation: a one-to-one session on your portfolio, UX career or a specific product decision, with honest feedback and a clear next step.
I am currently available for part-time roles, consultations and focused freelance engagements.
Selected work
- Tutoruu: solo product designer for an AI learning platform, across AI chat, payment flows and a multi-brand design system.
- Taa Marbuta: an RTL-first women's health product led from zero across patient and clinic apps, iOS-first.
- Wandr: a traveler app for finding trips and entering guest details, with an agency portal for managing trips and orders.
- Islam Online: a platform redesign with an accessible, mobile-first experience and a maintainable design system.
Some work is under NDA. I can discuss my role, process and decisions without exposing client names, product details or confidential results.
How a first conversation goes
We start with a free 30-minute call. I clarify the problem, constraints, team and next step. If I am not the right fit I will say so, and recommend someone better suited to the work.
