About Me
Experienced UX designer with a strong foundation in product and project management, bringing over 7 years of experience leading complex projects across healthcare, technology, automotive, consulting, and infrastructure. With 3+ years in UX design, I create intuitive, scalable solutions that align user needs with business goals.
At Guidehouse, I lead UX for AI-powered SaaS products in commercial healthcare and design user-centered, accessible experiences for federal grant management systems, enhancing usability and supporting evolving priorities. Previously at Tesla, I led high-impact design initiatives, optimizing workflows and integrating design with broader operations. My expertise spans healthcare, consulting, engineering, and enterprise systems, positioning me at the intersection of UX, product management, and program leadership.
Detailed Overview
With a passion for design and engineering, I earned a degree in Architectural Engineering from The American University in Cairo. I began my career on the $1B Grand Egyptian Museum project, honing skills in design and engineering management. I later pursued advanced studies in Engineering Management at Arizona State University before joining CBRE to support Kaiser Permanente and Microsoft on a $4B project.
At CBRE, my interest in UX grew, leading me to an intensive online UX/UI bootcamp during COVID-19, where I built multiple projects. This led to Tesla, where I applied UX design to engineering and cost management workflows, bridging UX, product management, and engineering. My impact earned me a promotion before transitioning to Guidehouse to modernize digital health platforms for federal and commercial clients, shaping AI-powered solutions through research-driven design and cross-functional collaboration.
