> Founding Designer | 0→1 Product & UX | AI-native | Founder, Friday

Location: San Francisco Bay Area, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/omair

Founding designer and design leader with 20+ years of experience building 0→1 products, teams, and user experiences.

I specialize in product design and UX strategy—taking ambiguous ideas and turning them into clear direction, shipped products, and measurable outcomes. I’ve worked across startups and enterprise environments, often as the first design hire, partnering closely with product and engineering to define strategy and execution.

Key areas of focus: • 0→1 product design and UX strategy
• Cross-functional leadership (product, engineering, design)
• Design systems and scalable UX frameworks
• AI-native workflows and product development

I’m equally comfortable driving early-stage product vision as I am aligning stakeholders around pragmatic, high-impact execution.

I also bring a builder mindset. I designed and developed Friday, a consumer product brand, leading product, UX, brand, and digital experience end-to-end.

Open to founding designer, product design, and design leadership roles.
