    If you're building a tech company in Egypt, you know the feeling: you read the playbook, you do what the SaaS blogs and the YC talks say to do - and it breaks the moment it hits the local market. Payments don't behave the way the tutorials assume. Buyers don't sign because your deck is good; they sign because they trust you. The talent market, the pricing psychology, the sales cycles - none of it matches the imported advice. For the last few years I've been building, selling, and shipping software out of Egypt - through Shopless, my strategy-and-software agency, and a portfolio of products like Tawrida (Trade Operations Platform) and BITHUB. I've also built brands from scratch, including a Gen Z consumer label, and produced the cinematic content behind them. I post about what works here - the operational reality of building product, brand, and go-to-market in Egypt and the wider MENA region. No recycled San Francisco advice. Just the things I wish someone had told me earlier. If you're building in this region, follow along. Four things you'll get from me: → the operational reality of building in Egypt → go-to-market truth for MENA → brand & taste as a competitive edge → honest takes on the ecosystem

    Design is what I eat & breathe. I do things my way and if you will pass on us it's going to be your miss. I believe in killer design vs. genial ideas. I have built a football school and a couple of corporate applications, facelifting existing business leader and arguing with those who are doing shit work or being lazy-stupid. My strength is the strategy, validation, value definition, and motivation. Hell yeah! Most of the time I have to fight to break the rules and self-owned digital service will be the thing which will let me fly. Data analytics is gold and will be! A mix of responsibilities in domains of digital product development, business, IT, and marketing. Helping individuals, teams and companies enable change management through design thinking.

    Hi, I'm Kat. My pronouns are they/them. ‘Professional me’ is ‘real-life me’, but with better grammar and punctuation. I don’t have a ‘work persona’ - I’m always me. I work as a Product designer, writer, and illustrator. I'm not a rockstar, a ninja or a unicorn - nor will I crush it, smash it or kill it. I like to help bridge the common and occasionally tense divide between design and development silos, as well as advocate for the user perspective. I'm deeply interested in the social sciences, philosophy, art, design, and technology. I love learning - I'm always looking for the next course to take, books to read, DIY skills to YouTube, subjects to research, a pivotal event to wade through, or history to explore.
