About me
I have a sweet spot for balancing human needs and business interests. I apply my curiosity to frame problems at a deeper level while designing beautiful, functional and intuitive digital experiences that can meaningfully impact people’s lives every day.
Hello, I am Samaa El-Sayed and I am a seasoned UX Specialist. I have collaborated with cross-functional teams and industrial experts from start-ups, not-for-profits and large enterprises across various industries applying the human-centered design framework that encouraged them to solve their end-user needs while meeting their business goals.
While keeping up with our ever-changing digital age, I love connecting with humans because I am curious to learn about their habits and behaviours when they interact with technology. Also, I enjoy bringing innovative ideas and solutions to design beautiful, functional and intuitive experiences that can meaningfully impact people’s lives every day.
