With the right attitude, any problem is a design challenge yet to be solved!

I am an award-winning Industrial and User Experience Designer based in Kiel, Germany. I strive to make a positive and lasting impact through my design work. My journey is fueled by:

A diverse professional background, with over seven years of experience in UX design, research, and consultancy across sectors such as FinTech and MedTech, enables me to thrive in multidisciplinary environments and adapt seamlessly to new challenges.
Proven success as a leader, overseeing projects from inception to market readiness, including notable products such as ImPulse, a 3D printable simulation training model for pediatric cardiac surgery, and Laminar, an eco-friendly reusable toothpaste tube.
Recognition with prestigious awards, including the Red Dot Design Award, iF Design Award, and UNESCO International Innovation Design Award, reaffirms my commitment to creating impactful solutions.
A strong academic background, holding a Master's in Industrial Medical Design and a Bachelor's in Design Thinking, equips me with expertise in ethnographic research, user experience design, and project management.
Bilingual proficiency in English and Arabic, with developing skills in German, reflecting my commitment to continuous growth and collaboration.

Open to new positions in Medical Products and Research Design.
