Hi, I’m Saeid, a Lead UX Designer with over a decade of experience shaping innovative, user-centered digital experiences.

I specialize in translating complex business and user requirements into intuitive, impactful designs that empower users and elevate products.
I use design as a tool to explore, evaluate, and change the narrative around products and services, as well as to understand the impact they have on the habits and behaviors of the people who use them.

 

With a passion for creating seamless and intuitive user experiences, I’ve taken a strong lead on comprehensive cross-product design efforts and extensive practice improvement programs, with a track record of leading others toward successful outcomes.
By combining strategic research, real-time customer insights, and a hypothesis-driven design approach, I enable teams to deliver design systems that evolve alongside business needs and user expectations.
