Who am I?

Experienced design leader, creating transformative experiences for AI

I'm a Product Designer at Microsoft, shaping the future of digital experiences with Microsoft 365 Copilot and Microsoft Word.

With a Master's in Design Informatics from the University of Edinburgh, I've honed my skills in understanding and applying the nuances of human-computer interaction and data science to meet and exceed user expectations. Before joining Microsoft, I contributed my expertise to MathWorks, focusing on core MATLAB functionality, and dived into the dynamics of the real estate market in the Middle East at Bayut.

At Microsoft, I'm at the intersection of AI and design, navigating the uncharted waters of designing for systems powered by transformative technologies like OpenAI's GPT and other advanced AI models. This unique vantage point allows me to craft experiences that are not just functional but are also at the cutting edge of what's possible, balancing user needs with the potent capabilities of AI.

My design ethos is rooted in the belief that technology should empower, not overpower, enhancing human experiences without overshadowing them. It's about striking that perfect harmony between innovation and intuition, ensuring every digital interaction feels natural, meaningful, and distinctly human.

As I continue to explore this exciting confluence of AI and design, I am driven by the endless possibilities of creating solutions that are not just effective but are also ethical and inclusive, reflecting a deep understanding of the diverse tapestry of users we serve.

Community engagement

I'm passionate about giving back to the community. Part of my commitment involves assisting designers with their job application processes, which I do by providing pro-bono mentorship sessions on ADPList. This support aims to guide those new to the field or transitioning into UX roles.
