About Me
Hello, I’m Jay, a product designer with a background in sales and marketing in the food service industry, where I led product development, growth, and service clients across the MENA region.
Why transition to user experience? My role required both analytical and creative abilities and, for a long time, I didn’t know how to combine the two in a career. I’m now looking to leverage my background in problem-solving, stakeholder management, and product development into a career in UX Design. I’m a critical thinker, with a powerful visual flare with a deep desire to help organizations serve their users through intuitive user experiences.
