I’m Ahmed, a graduate product designer, and I aspire to be the voice between people and businesses through a sympathetic approach. My interests are human-centred design and medical design. I love working closely with people to develop innovative solutions to meet their needs. Product design, to me, is problem understanding. I aspire to live in a community that respects each individual and desires to grow a healthy lifestyle.
