Portfolio v5
Shipped a complete redesign with an editorial changelog approach. Featured projects get dedicated case studies, everything else flows through a timeline.
Hi I'm Shadi
I've created a lot of websites, but I only recently discovered a new design philosophy. - June 1st 2025
A great website is an experience, an engineer is a methodical designer tasked with crafting and invoking emotion, change, or inspiration.
But behind every experience is a human. And every human has a story.
So, let's chat - about how I think, build, and bring digital ideas to life. If you've made it this far, let's sit down and enjoy a cup of coffee together.
Well, now that you know a little more about me...
Let me show you some highlights of my work. Each project tells a story of problem-solving, creativity, and technical craftsmanship.
