Years of experience
Hey, I’m Mustafa
UX/Product Designer currently based in Bern, Switzerland.
I treasure building stuff that people want to use! Over the past five years, I’ve worked hard to understand what that means and how to build successful products. I have expertise in UX with a broad background in Brand creation, Digital Design, Web Design, and Motion Design, with exposure to development using HTML, CSS and JS.
I always say, “The elegance of a solution resides in its simplicity.” I have contributed to diverse projects, adding creative input that resulted in revenue generation. My approach prioritises the user and product, demonstrating empathy towards their needs.
I aim to create inclusive digital experiences and optimise outcomes for higher business value. Currently seeking career growth. Feel free to reach out if you’d like to connect or discuss potential opportunities! Looking forward to hearing from you!
