Where I’m From
I was born and raised in Columbus, Ohio #GoBuckeyes!
My Heritage
I take great pride in my Egyptian identity. My parents immigrated to the states about 30 years ago. Through which, I have been able to develop my fluency in Arabic.
1. UX Research Techniques
I have a strong background in research that began in undergrad at The Ohio State University. I completed a senior thesis in Psychology and graduated with research distinction
I also had the opportunity to participate in research during the summer of ‘22, which I presented a poster for at FMEC.
My experiences have given me a solid research foundation that I apply in UX, including interviews, surveys, usability testing, and literature review.
2. Visual Design & UI
Using design tools like Figma, Framer, Adobe photoshop, Procreate I’m able to visualize and iterate on the UI, creating visually pleasing, clean and professional designs.
3. Interaction Design
I excel in crafting seamless interactions, intuitive navigation flows, and delightful user interfaces. I've designed interactive prototypes incorporating microinteractions and animations to provide visual feedback and enhance the user experience.
With a strong foundation in interaction design principles and an eye for detail, I bring a user-centric approach to every project, ensuring that the interactions are not only visually appealing but also functional and intuitive.
4. Content Design / UX Writing
From headings and microcopies to buttons and menu bars, I utilize the company's voice and tone to craft clear, concise, and effective copy that guides users through the product.
HTML/CSS
I'm currently enrolled in a course to learn HTML and CSS basics. Recognizing the value of a designer's grasp of development fundamentals, I aim to enhance my ability to effectively communicate with developers and design within the constraints of the medium.
Augmented Reality (AR) Design
I understand that extended reality (XR) is becoming increasingly important, and there is a growing need for designers who can work with it. That's why I'm currently learning what differs from designing for a static website/application to designing for an augmented reality experience as a UX designer.
