Sr. Product Designer at Dubizzle ( OLX, Zameen, Bayut)
Hey there, design enthusiasts! I'm Ahmed Zain, and I've been on quite the adventure in the design world for the past three years. Armed with just a computer science degree and a ton of curiosity, I've had the incredible opportunity to shape digital experiences across Pakistan and the MENA region. From crafting user-friendly real estate portals to fine-tuning essential tools like CRMs and ERP systems (because who doesn't love a well-organized enterprise?), I've had my fair share of design escapades. But here's the real thrill – along the way, I've learned, grown, and discovered my true passion: guiding others through this dynamic field. Whether you're diving headfirst into design or looking to add some fresh zest to your seasoned expertise, count me in to help you along the way. So, let's skip the formalities and dive straight into the good stuff. Whether it's sharing laughs over design quirks or exploring the ins and outs of corporate culture versus the freelance hustle, I'm here for it all. Grab your beverage of choice (mine's still chai, of course!), and let's embark on this design adventure together. After all, life's too short for bland intros – let's infuse some design magic into it!

Founder/CEO at Springy
As a product designer I have previously worked on interactive media, digital products, Brand identity, and traditional design. I grew up with a creative family and have been surrounded by art and Persian poetry since an early age. As a teenager, I remember asking my father to buy me the latest Windows 95, and since then, I have been hooked on the evolving world of technology. Both planets have collided seamlessly for me. Through my experience, I’ve discovered that I am most fulfilled collaborating with teams to develop elegant solutions to complex problems. My background is in interactive design, where we intersect the software and the hardware by applying a human-centred approach to our design processes. This approach also explains my invested interest in behavioural psychology, which I spend a lot of my time learning and exploring.
