About · Basma Gh, Lead Product Designer
12+ years leading design through complex products.
I've shipped white-label banking platforms, decentralized apps, car configurators, e-commerce, taxation tools, education platforms and travel apps. My strength is working through complex projects with many stakeholders and little documentation.
Generalist by nature, with deep design systems expertise. I lead end-to-end, from strategy to pixel, and I build and ship my own products on the side.
