Hey, I'm Lijo Thomas
UI/UX & Creative Designer based in Dubai with 7+ years of experience designing digital products that feel good to use.
I love the full spectrum of design — from mapping out user flows and building component systems, to motion graphics and brand visuals. Currently, I'm a Product Designer at Love That Design, where I build tools for the architecture and interior design world.
When I'm not designing, I'm probably experimenting with AI, exploring new design tools, or prototyping something just for fun.
