About Me

Hi, I'm Nabil

I'm a Houston-based UX Designer. I have a background in Computer Science from the University of Houston.

I switched to design when I was building my first startup because I felt I could do more as a designer than as a developer. I dove in head first; reading books, doing courses on web design, following folks online, and meeting other UX Designers in Houston.

I enjoy working on new problems, doing my research, and trying my best to understand the concerns of the business so I can help them grow their business through design.

I was instrumental in leading projects from their inception, skillfully navigating product launches on platforms such as Product Hunt, iOS App Store, and Google Play Store.

As a co-founder, product designer, and developer at Shoot, I spearheaded the conception, design, and launch of a web-based photographer booking platform, resulting in an impressive 40 bookings and $3500 in revenue within two months. Collaborating closely with co-founders, I contributed to early-stage business strategies and product direction, while also conducting extensive user research, engaging with over 100 individuals to shape product requirements.

10 out of 5 stars.

Nabil went above and beyond in supporting my idea and vision for a website. He listened to me and what I found important and was able to do everything that I asked and if he didn't know something then he researched ideas and came to the table with great ideas to support my vision. He was also a pleasure to work with... very knowledgable, cares about his client, and communicates needs well. If I have any future needs he will be my first call. I highly recommend Nabil.
