About Ibrahim
Product thinking.
Motion instinct.
Clear stories.
Santa Clara, California
Introduction
I’m Ibrahim Al Kharusi, a Product & Motion Designer based in Santa Clara, California. My experience spans enterprise UX/UI, brand systems, motion campaigns, and independent creative work. I combine product thinking, interaction design, and visual storytelling to turn complex ideas into clear interfaces and compelling motion. I also run Katenza, an independent creative studio.
Open to full-time and contract opportunities in product, motion, and visual design.
Design approach
Clarity first. Then character, movement, and meaning.
I connect product logic with visual communication—shaping how an experience works, how it moves, and how its value is understood. Emerging tools can accelerate exploration, but judgment and thoughtful execution remain central.
