Product Designer @BenchAccounting

My Resume
My Linkedin

Ibrahim.

A Product Designer, Gamer, and Lifelong Learner.
What motivates me
​
My goal with any project is always to define a problem first and find a solution second - and always with the user in mind.
I like working with people
I got into Product Design because I love the cross functional work I do with Product Manager, Engineers and everyone in between.
​I've pushed code!
This includes React, Angular, HTML & CSS. Whether it's creating components, switching up layouts or altering a simple string.
