Ahmed is the best mentor I’ve ever met. He stands on the expression of “Show don’t tell”. He helped me a lot in my case, and he told me about his previous experience in similar cases, and we’ve extended time.

★★★★★
لا بصراحة هو وافي من كل حاجة بالنسبة للمبتدا و خصوصاً اخر فيديو اللي بتقول فيه it depends علي كل واحد وكل حاجة والمصادر اللي اتابعها بعد كدة بحيث اني اقدر اعرف ادور فين لو عاوز العمق في الموضوع و كمان التشديد علي عمليه ال iteration و أن مش دي كل ال activities اللي ممكن تنفذها. ممكن بعد كدة من وجهة نظري أن لو هيبقي في كورس يكون تطبيق عملي من الأول للآخر و الاختيارات في ال activities باستفاضة بحيث اربط القرارات اللي هاخدها في visual design في الآخر و عمليه ال iteration بس اعتقد ده مستوي متطور بعد اتقان الاساسيات. انما في المجمل الكورس لحد مبتدى لحد مثلا سنة خبرة مناسب جدا الصراحة و بالتوفيق في اللي جي يا هندسة وربنا يعينك

FAQ

Before you book

Do you work with teams outside Egypt?

Yes. Most of my work happens remotely, in English or Arabic, with teams across time zones.

Can you train our in-house designers?

Yes. I run trainings and programs for teams, shaped around their level and the product they are building. See Programs.

How do I book a mentoring session?

Pick a time on my ADPList profile and write a line about what you want to cover. Mentoring on ADPList is free.

Can you review my portfolio?

Yes, in a 1:1 session. Share the link when you book, so the whole session goes to feedback rather than a first look.
