UI/UX Designer

AvnologySaudi Arabia — Remote
Jan 2025 — Aug 2025

Architected a 120+ component library, produced 1,400+ screens across 10 projects, led end-to-end design processes, designed 30+ interaction patterns, and owned requirements analysis, Information Architecture, and Figma Dev Mode handoff.

Architected a 120+ component library with semantic Figma Variable layers and multi-mode tokens, enabling 3 concurrent product teams to ship consistent UI without per-screen reviews.
Produced 1,400+ screens across 10 projects — SaaS dashboards, 2 mobile apps, responsive websites — applying RTL-first layout logic, bidirectional typography, and Arabic-market UX conventions.
Led end-to-end process: user research, personas, low-fidelity wireframes, high-fidelity (hi-fi) UI, and structured user story mapping to align client goals with final solutions.
Designed 30+ interaction patterns — loading states, form validation, navigation transitions — mapped to specific user action triggers; earned client sign-off in product demos.
Owned requirements analysis, Information Architecture (IA) and Figma Dev Mode handoff, leveraging HTML/CSS/JS knowledge to streamline communication with the development team.
