About me

"I’m a designer who thrives in spaces where curiosity, authenticity, and collaboration come naturally — where people feel safe to grow, explore, and learn together.

 

I try my best to bring clarity to complexity through research, experimentation, and behavioral design psychology, crafting experiences that are intuitive, with meaningful business impact. 

​

I believe great design happens in environments built on trust and a shared growth mindset — where it’s okay to fail forward, ask questions, and with smile along the way.

In response to a key customer opportunity, Almosafer introduced fare families, offering a wider range of fare options similar to airlines.

Final outcome, a fully integrated, user-tested upsell experience that:

  • Bridges the trust and value gap between OTAs and airlines

  • Empowers customers with transparent choices

  • Drives measurable business impact at scale
