About Me
I'm Zakaria — a Senior Product Designer with 5+ years leading design for complex digital products across AI tooling, EdTech, and B2B SaaS. I don't just craft interfaces; I drive product direction, establish design systems that scale, and work closely with engineering and product leadership to ship experiences that move metrics.
My differentiator is the intersection of strategic thinking and technical fluency. I prototype in code, speak the language of engineering teams, and integrate AI-assisted workflows to move faster without sacrificing quality. Every decision I make is grounded in research, validated through testing, and tied to a measurable outcome.
I've led end-to-end design initiatives — from 0-to-1 product concepting to scaling mature design systems — and I bring the same rigour to a solo sprint as I do to cross-functional team leadership. If you need a designer who can own the problem, not just the pixels, let's talk.
