Hi, I’m Saleh
Back in 2013, in my hometown Mukalla, I joined a small 3-week local workshop to learn frontend development. I dove deep into HTML, CSS, and a bit of JavaScript, built a few simple websites, and for about a year, I kept coding.
But something always felt off.Improving pages through code took so much time, and every tweak made the code more inconsistent.
The websites worked, but they didn’t feel right.
I didn’t know it back then, but what was missing was User Experience, the human side of design.
One day, my friend Ahmed Askar, an experienced programmer I deeply trusted, said:
“Why don’t you try designing in Photoshop?” That advice changed everything.
The moment I opened Adobe Photoshop, I couldn’t stop. I spent dozens of hours every day experimenting, sketching, and bringing raw ideas to life.
Seeing those designs turn into clickable prototypes, and watching users interact with them, became addictive. InVision, Photoshop, After Effects, and later Sketch shaped my early years.
They built my foundation and taught me how powerful it is to merge logic with emotion.
Fast forward 10 years, and I’ve worked with global and regional companies, most of the apps and websites I designed are live today, used by thousands and thousands of customers.
My process has evolved, my eye for detail is sharper, but the joy of creating experiences that make people feel something?
That’s still the same.
