biography

Hey, I'm Omar—a Product Design maestro with a decade-long journey sculpting B2B/B2C products, APIs, and CMS masterpieces, from web wonders to slick iOS apps. Brooklyn's where I started as a young artist, learning that creativity is not just a buzzword but a lifestyle.

In my adventures across E-commerce, Saas, Fintech, and Media, I've led rad projects, driven growth, and managed teams like a rockstar. Critical thinking, emotional intelligence, and a growth mindset? Yep, got those.

As a Product Design Lead, I've turned projects into gold mines of revenue and customer satisfaction, all while keeping my team's vibes high. Self-awareness is my secret sauce—understanding strengths, weaknesses, and harmonizing with my team.

But hey, I'm not just about pixels and prototypes. Outside the design realm, I'm an amateur boxer with a passion for the sweet science, a music producer cooking up beats, and a dedicated, loving father.

Now, why am I here? Excited to sprinkle my bag of tricks—experience, leadership, a dash of Brooklyn swagger, and a touch of fatherly love—onto your team. Let's connect, swap stories, and chat about making some magic together! 🚀✨
