Profile: https://flows.cv/manalidhide

I am a User Experience Designer with a passion for simplicity and usability. 
 
For the last few years, I’ve been focussing on User Experience and Interface Design, but I also love doing Visual Design and photography. I keep developing these skills and interests in my personal projects. These projects are also perfect playgrounds for learning and trying out new stuff.

I believe that a good design needs sound basis which consists of many things, depending on the kind of project: a good concept, a well crafted flow, meaningful content plus a good visual style can give it personality and make it stand out.

Having worked in-house as well as a freelancer, I have experience working on the complete design cycle from analysis, concept development, specification, prototyping and visual design through to implementation.
