About me
A small introduction about myself
Yehya Hafez
Web/Mobile UX & UI Designer - UI Developer
My name is Yehya Hafez – I was born in the 18th of August 1985.
I am a UI/UX designer who is obsessed with making things that are not just unique, but beautiful too. Based in Hurghada - Egypt , I enjoy living near the sea.
Being a perfectionist, no matter what it is that I work on, I make sure that I deliver only the best.
The years of experience that I hold have made it possible for me to see how the tiniest of elements merge together in order to form a greater whole. Not only do I consider the bigger picture, but make sure that I also pay attention to the smallest of details, thereby portraying my in-depth desire to fulfil the requirements of all projects to the best of my abilities.
My basic belief is that design is not only how it looks, but also how it works, for me designs that ignore people, are the ones that get ignored by people in return.
To me, it is necessary for a designer to make sure that they pay ample attention to the functionality of a design, because, it isn’t just how a design looks, but also how it works that matters!
Personal life – Living life to the fullest!
In my personal life, I am a simple, down-to-earth guy who lives a happy life and does whatever he can to make others happy too. Apart from my fascination with creating new and unique things, I also have an undying love for the Latin music and dance. I believe in living a healthy life, for which reason I regularly go shopping and go to the gym. Apart from that, I also enjoy reading in behavioural psychology, all related web materials such as usability, UX Design and so on
