Shopify Connector · Solo Product Designer

WhatsApp automation that turns itself on

The problem: small merchants lost sales when key order moments went silent. I designed a connector that messages customers on WhatsApp automatically, in English or Arabic, with zero setup.

Redesigned channels overview with a guided WhatsApp setup 02
B2B SaaS Platform · Solo Product Designer

Channel setup that guides itself

The problem: channels were buried in a side menu and connecting WhatsApp meant a wall of requirements with no clear steps. I rebuilt it into one channels overview and a guided three-step setup that shows progress, tests before going live, and recovers cleanly when a connection fails.

Redesigned WhatsApp channel, Overview tab, shown in a browser window 03
B2B SaaS Platform · Solo Product Designer

A settings page that became a channel

The problem: once WhatsApp was connected, every control lived on one crowded page with a vague title, no sense of whether the channel was healthy, and a Disconnect that asked for no confirmation. I rebuilt it into a four-tab channel, made what's editable and what's risky obvious, and added the two capabilities it was missing: message templates and voice calls.

B2B SaaS Platform · Solo Product Designer

AI avatar setup that checks itself

The problem: connecting an AI avatar meant juggling an image spec, domain whitelisting, and a script embed, with no way to tell if it would work until the end. I designed a guided four-step wizard with real-time validation and a live preview, so users see it works before going live.

SLA Analytics Dashboard with KPI cards and a weekly performance trend chart 05
B2B SaaS Platform · Solo Product Designer

SLA data that reads at a glance

The problem: support leaders pieced SLA health together from exports and spreadsheets, so breaches surfaced late. I designed an analytics dashboard that surfaces compliance, response times, and weekly trends in one glanceable view, with filters and export built in.

About

I believe good design is invisible until the moment it saves someone's day.

I'm Omar, a product designer based in Cairo, Egypt. I spend my time in the messy middle of products: the automation nobody finished, the dashboard nobody trusted, the onboarding everyone skipped.

My approach is research-led and systems-minded. I prototype early, test with real users, and ship with engineers in the room. I care about the details that don't get screenshots: empty states, error copy, loading moments, and the bilingual edge case in English and Arabic.

How I Work

A process, not a guess.

01

Discover

Interviews, analytics, and support logs. I find the real problem before sketching a single screen.

02

Define

Synthesis into clear problem statements, journey maps, and the one metric that matters most.

03

Design

Rapid prototypes tested with real users. I iterate in the open, never in a vacuum.

04

Deliver

Production-ready specs, a living design system, and measurement so we know it actually worked.

Let's work together
