Salah Mohsen

Designer & Developer

I build pixel-perfect, accessible products for the web and beyond.

About

Back in 2013, I started a career in photography, documenting hundreds of events, publishing a story in madamasr, and getting shortlisted at a prestigious photography contest. I worked for a major media company in Germany and a pioneering fashion e-commerce platform based in Egypt.

But the desire to weave magic with pixels, not just light, combined with the itch to code couldn’t be ignored. So, in 2023, I began my journey in web development, trading shutter clicks for keyboard clacks. Now, I pour my artistic soul into crafting pixel-perfect, accessible products for the web and beyond.
