Product design that people relate to and businesses thrive with.

I’m Islam, a remote product designer with 5+ years in fintech, proptech and B2B SaaS. I join early-stage teams, untangle messy problems, build design systems, and ship what the business needs next.

How I work with AI

AI works with me from research to delivery. Requirements, priorities, design direction and quality stay mine.

  1. Discover & Define

    I gather research, data and user feedback, then use ChatGPT and Claude to question my assumptions and define the problem.

  2. Explore & Prototype

    I compare directions and build working prototypes in Claude, so the core journey gets tested before any polish.

  3. Build & Validate

    I turn what works into a reliable product with AI-assisted development, a design system, usability tests and engineering QA.

  4. Ship & Learn

    I ship, watch what actually happens, and take what I learn back to whichever stage needs it.

Adel JoudallahCo-Founder, Managing Director @ Radix Technologies

It is rare to come across standout talent like Islam. While I’m working with Islam, I was impressed by his questions, the way he gets answers to those questions and verifies them, which allowed him to deliver the best experience and keep developing to make it even better. From Islam’s perspective, the experience always can be better, nothing is perfect, but it should fit on it case. How he empathize, study each case, make the work with him really inspiring. He follow the standards and keep rising the bar of himself and everyone around him to deliver the best experience. Islam’s critical thinking is the cherry on the top, I will be lucky if we cross paths in the future.

Soultan’s World

Outside of work I paint, make music, and read, so I built a house for all of it. Walk in, or start in a room.

Story of a full-time learner

I didn’t start in design. I started in a classroom.

    Teaching

    Teaching kids taught me empathy, patience, and how to reach different minds.

A design has to look right, work the way people expect, and make sense for the business. If it misses one of the three, it doesn’t help anyone.

Design mentorship

1:1 sessions for designers who want to sharpen their thinking and their work.

Why mentoring?

I’ve always been fascinated by how we learn. How someone can start from zero and, with time, turn that into mastery. My background in both academic and non-academic teaching shaped the way I think, not just as a designer, but as someone who values growth, clarity, and the process behind both.

That’s why mentorship matters to me. I know how it feels to figure things out alone, and I try to be the person I once needed. A sounding board, a guide, and sometimes just someone to remind you that you’re not lost. If I can be a small part of someone’s learning path, that’s more than worth it.

How I mentor

I work with designers who are figuring something out: a project, a portfolio, or what’s next.

We learn from each other, and I share what I’ve learned along the way.

Values I appreciate

The mindset that shaped how I learn, and how I share.

  1. Curiosity

    Staying hungry to explore, question, and understand deeply.

  2. Clarity

    Breaking things down simply, without losing meaning.

  3. Empathy

    Guiding with care, remembering the struggle to learn.

  4. Intentionality

    Learning with purpose, not just for the sake of it.

  5. Growth over ego

    Valuing progress more than being right.

Thanks, Islam, for your time and effort. Our discussions really influenced me a lot... I can see the results in my portfolio. You also helped me gain clear thinking about all the things I was hesitating about.

Esraa NabilProduct Designer @ Solutions by 42

It was my pleasure talking with Islam, EVERY SINGLE TIME. He is so patient and supportive. We covered portfolio, whiteboard, interview skills, and career development. My portfolio was at a different level after the mentorship and helped me get interviews. Cannot appreciate more for his support and mentorship!
