Hi, I’m Sam Mostafa
Senior product designer in New York. I design AI-driven products and data-heavy platforms, from 0→1 features to systems used by millions, currently at Renovate AI and Chocolate Finance.

I trained as an architect before moving into product design, and later earned a master’s in UX/UI design at Touro University. I joined Swvl as its first design hire, building the brand from scratch and then leading product design as the team grew from one designer to six. At Hotdesk I led end-to-end design and built the design system and team. Today I design AI tools at Renovate AI and lead product design for Chocolate Finance’s expansion into new markets.
