Ziad OmarProduct Designer · AI & Automation

I think like the business, design for the user, and build with AI.

From understanding the problem, to a solution that actually works.

Journey

  1. Before 202001 / 12

    It started with Photoshop

    I opened Photoshop once, and never really closed it.

  2. 202002 / 12

    The lost year

    I didn't know where I was heading, so I went back to basics: ICDL and Office tools. Sometimes the first step is just to start moving.

  3. 2021–202203 / 12

    Graphic design diploma

    I joined a graphic design diploma at Graphic School. That's when design stopped being a hobby and became a path.

  4. 2021–202304 / 12

    Thumbnails & freelancing

    Freelancing for many teachers and entering design competitions. I won some, lost some, and learned more from the losses. The biggest lesson: you have one second to earn a click.

  5. 2023–202405 / 12

    Visual design

    From a one-second thumbnail to a full visual message. I worked on visual design until it became my language.

  6. 2024–202506 / 12

    Marketing experience

    I worked with a marketing company as a visual and campaign designer. I came out understanding the market, and something bigger: for the first time, I felt responsible for part of a company, not just my tasks. That's when I discovered I think like a manager. And I learned that not every business problem is a social media problem. Sometimes the problem is that nobody owns it.

  7. 202507 / 12

    UI/UX

    Four months with Route. Then straight into real projects with startup and graduation teams, because the best teacher is a real problem.

  8. 202508 / 12

    Product Designer

    I thought I understood how businesses think. It turned out to be far more complex. So I started merging business thinking with UX, and became a Product Designer.

  9. 202609 / 12

    The moment I questioned myself

    In my first project (Zidne App), I designed mood tracking as a ready-made motivation feature. In my second (Zidne CRM), I asked: is there evidence for this? There wasn't. So I refused to build on it and marked it "still unproven". That's when I stopped designing solutions and started proving them.

  10. 202610 / 12

    RPA & Automation

    Two diplomas with Route in RPA and Automation. I always saw the problem and proposed the solution, but the solution stayed inside the design. Now I can build it.

  11. 202611 / 12

    Working with AI

    Three certificates from Anthropic, including one in Claude Code. I write prompts that deliver real results, and AI is now part of every stage of my work, from research to build. This website was made the same way.

  12. Today12 / 12

    Digital Solution Builder

    I understand the business, design the solution, and build it.
