# Abdelrhman Mostafa > Senior Product Designer - Building products - Fixing problems - Puzzle lover Location: San Francisco, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/abdelrhman It's all about bringing it back to the people we're designing for... I'm taking my decade's experience in the architectural/ design industry and bringing it with me on my UI/ UX design journey. Switching design fields is really a fun challenge. As long as we're humanizing our designs & making sure we're solving the right problem before creating the right design with a strong empathic connection to the people we should be on the path for the right design recipe. UX Methods: Interviews/Surveys - Heuristic Evaluation - Competitive/Comparative Analysis - Business Analysis - Affinity Mapping - Information Architecture - Sketching - Wireframing - Visual Design - Prototyping - Usability Testing - and Storytelling https://www.abdelrhmanmostafa.com/ I'm also an experienced Architect with a demonstrated history of working in the architecture & construction industry. Skilled in AutoCAD, Rhino, Revit, 3ds max, InDesign and Adobe Photoshop. Strong arts and design. ## Work Experience ### Senior Product Designer @ Covalent Jan 2021 – Present | United States ### Freelance Product Designer @ AM Designs Jan 2021 – Present Led collaboration with startups & non-profits to draw their user strategy map and enhance the users’ end to end experience for their products: - Layed out workflow around products’ technical constraints.
