Product design leader.
Working at the AI frontier.
Head of Design at Mal. Twenty years of product design — from founding startups to the AI frontier at Scale AI — now building an AI-native bank from the ground up.
Kawader
Designing AI-enabled flows for Qatar's national workforce platform — and making the case for agentic forms over chat.
Conix
A GenAI platform for architects, started before anyone was calling it GenAI.
Evra
Making ML-driven property valuations legible — by linking every number to the spatial evidence underneath it.
medOne
An EMR and practice management platform for US hospital systems, designed against the category's tradition of dense tables and one-size-fits-all chrome.
Abdelrahman Osama is a product design leader based in Cairo, Egypt, with twenty years of craft across enterprise, government, and consumer products. He spent the first half of that as a founder and consultant — co-founding Conix, a GenAI platform for architects, before the term existed, and leading Simpleia's engagements for McKinsey & Co, Johnson & Johnson, and Qatar Foundation.
That trajectory led to Scale AI, where he led design on Kawader, Qatar's national workforce AI platform, and made the case for agentic forms over chat as the interaction model for public-sector AI. In 2026 he joined Mal, an AI-native Islamic digital bank headquartered in Abu Dhabi, as Head of Design — building the design function, system, and product ahead of launch.
The thread is consistent: research leads, craft follows, and AI is treated as a tool in service of the user's actual decision — not as the product's front door. Interaction models get designed before interfaces do; interfaces get shipped before pattern libraries.
Founder of Simpleia, through which he has led product design engagements since 2012.
