Hello, I’m Ali Said! I help companies elevate their products through smart UI Motion Design.

I began my career on the Human Interface team at BMW. Since then, I’ve been lucky to work on cutting-edge products at companies like Google, LinkedIn, Intuit, and many others. I’ve collaborated on interfaces that have reached millions of users and am very excited to share the many ways motion can improve conversions and user-retention.

I love creating beautiful user experiences. A clunky interface can completely ruin a brilliant idea or device. I understand how to use animation to guide users though an interface and ultimately improve conversions and user-retention.

I've worked primarily on design initiatives for iOS and Android as well as wearable, in-vehicle, VUI, and Surgical Robotics augmented reality user experiences.

"Ali Said is an amazing mentor and UX Motion Design instructor. With his help, I secured a 6 figure salary in under a year and improved my UI design skills significantly. His teaching style is engaging and personalized, and he is always up to date with the latest trends. Ali's dedication to his students is remarkable. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their UX and UI design skills."
Victoria Fontaine
Senior Product Designer
"I had the pleasure of working with Ali on a zero to one motion design system for an iOS/Android app. For a product focused on immersive sound and imagery for relaxation, it was crucial that transitional elements were seamless. Ali’s approach was grounded in function while being contextually relevant and improving the overall user experience of the product. He took on a mentoring role for the team as well, working closely with engineering throughout implementation to ensure the final production version was aligned to specifications. I’d recommend Ali not only as an accelerator for high priority design needs, but also for his tremendous capacity to up-skill individuals and teams."
Evan Rawn
Product Manager @ Lyft
"I had the pleasure of working with Ali on a project where he designed our UX Motion System. Ali exceeded all expectations with our frictionless commerce system. The final product was visually stunning, intuitive and user-friendly. I was even more impressed when I saw his work featured in the news, showcasing the impact it made on our product. I highly recommend Ali to anyone looking for a talented and educated designer. Motion drives conversions."

What is the UX Motion Design process?
As a UX motion designer, my process involves auditing applications to identify opportunities for functional motion design improvements. Once I've identified these areas, I provide libraries and corresponding timing specifications to ensure a streamlined implementation.

Throughout my career, I've worked on numerous design teams and have become adept at integrating seamlessly into any team structure or pipeline. This has allowed me to collaborate effectively with engineers to ensure that the final product meets both the design and functional requirements of the project.

My goal as a UX motion designer is to create engaging and intuitive experiences for users through the use of thoughtful and purposeful motion design. By leveraging my expertise and experience, I strive to provide a holistic approach to design that considers both the user experience and technical feasibility.
How does Functional Motion improve UX?
UX motion design is a critical element in creating a user-friendly and engaging digital product. It can improve the user experience in several ways. Firstly, it can guide users by providing visual cues that direct their attention to critical elements on the screen. For instance, motion can be used to draw attention to a call-to-action button or a menu item, which can help users navigate and interact with the product more efficiently. This can improve the overall usability and effectiveness of the product.

Secondly, motion design can make the user experience more delightful and engaging. By incorporating delightful and surprising animations, designers can create an emotional connection with the user, leading to higher user satisfaction and loyalty. This can also help differentiate the product from its competitors, which can be essential in today's crowded digital marketplaces.

Overall, UX motion design plays a crucial role in creating a superior user experience. By using motion design thoughtfully and purposefully, designers can improve the product's usability, engagement, and overall effectiveness. Ultimately, this can lead to greater user satisfaction and loyalty, which can translate to better business outcomes for the organization.

UX MOTION RESEARCH 
Research from Google and Nielsen Norman Group show that motion design drastically improves user experience. In short, motion optimizes user experience by reducing cognition, hiding latency, guiding user attention, confirming gesture, and streamlining navigation in the UI. UX Motion is critical.
