YANIS

AZZOUNI

I’m a UX/UI Designer with 4 years of experience crafting user-centered digital experiences with a sharp eye for detail, clarity, and impact. I thrive on solving complex problems at the intersection of psychology, technology, and design.

Curious and collaborative by nature, I love asking questions, digging deep into real user needs, and challenging ideas to make them stronger. I enjoy learning, giving and receiving honest feedback, and helping teams grow.

I’m looking for an ambitious and kind team with high standards—where I can take ownership, keep learning, and contribute to meaningful, sustainable products.

ABOUT

From discovery to UI, I turn insights into meaningful experiences.

My design experience covers the entire spectrum of digital products—from mobile apps to desktop experiences, across B2B, B2C, and SaaS products. I've successfully collaborated in diverse teams, led projects independently, and excelled in fast-paced environments. This versatility, combined with my passion for crafting intuitive AI-human interactions, helps me adapt quickly and deliver impactful solutions for any project or team.

COLLEAGUE FEEDBACK

Here’s what some of the amazing people I've had the pleasure to work with have shared about our collaborations.

"Yanis has radically transformed our UX at Forelight. Thanks to his innovative approach and keen sense of design, he has made our complex AI features not only accessible but also engaging for our users. This redesign has significantly boosted product adoption and retention.

His expertise, autonomy, and strategic vision in artificial intelligence and user experience have been true game changers for Forelight. He seamlessly combines creativity and pragmatism, allowing us to simplify the use of advanced technologies and deliver a truly intuitive customer experience.

I am confident that Yanis will bring exceptional value to any team seeking innovation and disruption in product design. His ability to think differently and push the boundaries of convention will make a difference in any dynamic and fast-evolving environment."

Leonardo Cuco

CTO & Co-Founder, Forelight.ai

"I always say when I talk about Yanis that he has spoiled all the juniors for me, he raised the bar so high for what a junior could be that it was almost unfair. Yanis joined us at YASSIR as a junior and he quickly picked up some pretty advanced skills. He learns fast, applies faster, adapts to new setups easily and is always giving his best. On an interpersonal level, his has been an amazing addition to the team, and a great friend. You can't go wrong with him."

EXPERIENCE

Product Designer

Forelight.ai

Feb 2023 — Present

As the first designer of the startup, I led the complete UX and UI redesign, laying the product foundations from scratch and driving its evolution in a fast-paced, complex AI environment. I owned the entire design process—balancing speed, rigor, and creativity—while designing and shipping high-impact features that explored new models of human-AI interaction. I built and scaled a robust design system to ensure both consistency and flexibility, conducted continuous user research (interviews, usability tests, insight analysis) despite the startup’s intense rhythm, and closely collaborated with PMs and developers through workshops and product framing. I also mentored interns, sharing best practices and regular feedback. My work was recognized for its clarity, relevance, and efficiency in a cutting-edge field with few existing design references.

Junior Product Designer

Yassir Inc.

Sep 2021 — Sep 2022

As part of a multicultural, cross-functional design team, I took full ownership of the food delivery vertical, designing end-to-end UX/UI flows for customers, delivery drivers, and restaurant owners. I led field research to deeply understand user constraints and needs, driving prioritization and product direction. Through fast iteration and continuous feedback, I improved key features and ensured seamless collaboration with developers during handoffs and QA. I also co-created SEFAR, the design system that unified interfaces across the product at scale. This experience helped me grow quickly in a demanding environment and shaped a strong, reality-grounded product mindset.
