I’m Tarek Alfutih, an interaction designer focused on making complex systems intuitive, usable, and easy to understand. I work across UX/UI, usability and accessibility, and build rapid prototypes to test ideas early. I combine user-centered research (interviews, observational studies, usability testing) with hands-on prototyping (including tangible interaction) and front-end development to create clear, inclusive experiences. I also have a strong background in visual communication and illustration, which helps me craft effective visual design for products and educational contexts.
