Hey there, I'm Ahmed Magdi, Product Designer, Content Strategist & Illustrator

I deeply care about every aspect of the product's life cycle, from the product strategy, business goals, branding, content strategy and user research to a final polished working solution that is usable and emotionally engaging.

I worked on various projects ( branding to illustration, research to product launch) since I started my career back in 2009 and with my added UX Writing skills, I can see the whole picture of the digital product and give the assistance needed at any stage.
