With American Eagle, I worked on couple of projects for:

✅ Abu Dhabi School of Government (ADSG)
✅ Department of Government Support (DGS)
✅ Abu Dhabi Human Resources Authority (HRA)
✅ YAS Island (Miral Experiences)

At ATOLYE, I worked as a Senior UX/UI Designer and then moved into the Design Lead role, focusing on the iOS, Android, and Web versions of the app developed for Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority UAE (TDRA)

We also developed design systems to ensure consistency across:

✅ 50+ sessions with 8 ministries
✅ 5 federal entities
✅ 38+ UAE governmental services
✅ 2K+ screens designed for the core app and services
✅ 7+ service bundles

I work with agencies and product teams delivering large-scale digital systems for government and enterprise clients.

My focus is on designing scalable product foundations that remain usable, consistent and maintainable over time.

My work typically involves:

✅ Leading product and UX/UI design across complex web and mobile platforms.
✅ Designing and evolving design systems used across multiple teams.
✅ Translating complex requirements into clear, usable interfaces.
✅ Supporting delivery teams through structure, documentation and design governance.
✅ Thinking in systems rather than one-off screens or short-term fixes.

✅ Learned printing process and design rules.
✅ Designed packaging and printed materials.
✅ Gained practical print production experience.
