About me

Contact me

Hi, I’m Masih.

Experienced Designer, adept at crafting impactful, user-centric solutions across
diverse industries including media, SaaS, consultancy, B2B, B2C, and in-house
application development. Skilled in project leadership, team management, and
product refinement to drive revenue growth and enhance customer satisfaction.




My approach combines data-driven analysis and comprehensive user research to
identify and address key challenges. I specialise in generating innovative ideas
aligned with product vision and business objectives, leveraging techniques such
as discovery workshop facilitation to chart a clear path to success for both the
product and the business while providing the best uncompromised experience
possible for end users.

As a Lead Experience Designer, I oversaw the transition of BT systems to the

I spearheaded the UX team within the service assurance group, synchronized my
team's quarterly goals with the product roadmap, lent support to 14 squads for
enterprise-wide objective realignment, and delivered product improvements and
adjustments to the product development crew, guided by user research.

A little about me

Long story, short.

Curiosity was my super power when I was little. To explore, and in some cases,
break the nice stuff my dad bought me to see how I could change it.




Today, that curiosity helps me experiment, learn and innovate, along with my
team mates to find better solutions that could pave the way for a better
product, user experience, and business turn-over.




I like socialising with friends, have an uncontrollable smile, and I’m bad at
golf. Recently started a journey to become healthier. I listen to Diary of a CEO
and love learning about other cultures.
