Hey Good People!! A Quick Intro About Me.
Saef Design
Hey, I'm Saif. A Product Designer, from Melbourne.
While my 4+ years of product experience focused primarily on app and web design, my experience also stems from a background in brand design. My design experience consists of product design, user experience, animation, and interaction. I thrive in fast-paced environments wearing multiple hats and working directly with stakeholders.
I approach user-centered design to extract the right user problem and help business to reach their goals.
With over five years of experience, I have learned one thing, Design is a journey of striving to achieve perfection. And Real design happens in constrained environments with messy dynamics and imperfect outputs. It's a team game where as a Product Designer my responsibility is to extract the right user's problem out of many by collaborating with the team and building a solution that adds value to people's lives and turns each user into a customer.
My Process
Ship, Learn, Fix
My design process is focused on speed, prototyping, iteration, and experimentation. I'm known for including users and engineers as my design partners.
I always start with a rapid-fire workshop where we describe your customer, map their journey through your product, uncover pain points and opportunities, and create a UX strategy. Then I break the design work into phases. Each phase includes team brainstorming, prototyping, testing with real customers, and collaborating with engineers.
Why Work With Me?
Problem Solver, Team Player, and A Human Loving Optimist
Design creates behavior and my ultimate goal as a designer is to allow users a good user experience design to achieve the product goals.
My work is primarily designing digital products for startups. I use design as a business tool for de-risking ideas and finding product-market fit. My goal is to match the founder's vision with practical execution and help teams navigate the process of the invention with speed, clarity, and calm. I believe great design is much more than beauty and usability. Great design resonates in our emotional roots, and reduces complex systems down into something simple—and yet absolutely unique.
