Four problems worth telling you about

Every one of these reflects real work with real users — from a system clinics run their whole day on, to a donation app live at real events and a store selling across three regions. Each case study walks through the thinking behind it, not just the pixels.

Portrait of Abdulaziz Abu Dhair

About

I'm Abdulaziz — a senior product designer based in Nablus, Palestine.

I started in print, designing brand identities and annual reports, and moved into product design in 2011 at EXALT Technologies. Over nearly 13 years there I grew from UI designer to the company's sole UX/UI designer, owning design end to end for global enterprise clients and startups — from on-screen software for large-format industrial printers to complex medical applications.

Since 2023 I've worked independently with startups and product teams across healthcare, travel, e-commerce, fintech and the public sector — more and more on products where AI does part of the work and people stay in control. I learn the domain before trusting my instincts, work closely with stakeholders and engineers, and hand off systems — not just screens.
