Hey, I’m Amr.

Designer, curious mind, and lover of anything that makes life feel more human.

I moved to Amsterdam 8 years ago it was a reset. Now I live here with my partner, building things I care about.

When I’m not designing, I’m usually cooking, playing guitar, or lost in music.

People are at the heart of everything I do.

My Formula

Six beliefs that shape how I design, lead, and build teams.

01

Strategy comes first

Design earns its value early at the table where direction is set, not just when its time to deliver.

Clarity over cleverness

Shared understanding beats smart ideas. Clarity helps people decide, align, and act.

Interfaces are intent

Good UI isnt decoration. It sets rhythm, shows care, and helps people feel the product.

Stay curious

Curiosity keeps me moving. I learn through teams, tension, and trying things out loud.

Move with care

I work fast, but not rushed. Speed is only good if it leaves space for reflection and quality.

Make it feel obvious

I reduce friction until whats complex becomes clear. Simplicity isnt minimal, its human.

Let’s grab a virtual coffee

I love meeting new people and hearing their stories. Feel free to book a time, no agenda needed, just real conversation.

Playlists I Craft & Listen To

Music plays a big part in how I reset, reflect, and reconnect, I design the covers as part of the experience. Hope you enjoy the sounds as much as I enjoy curating them.
