About Abderrahmene Saidane, product designer

Hi, I'm Abderrahmene.

Product designer

Currently, I’m designing at REasy, building fintech products that help African SMEs pay their suppliers across international markets.

I’ve been designing for seven years, but my relationship with design started much earlier. My father was a painter and art teacher, so I grew up around brushes, colors, and visual communication. He once told me that communication is about shape, color, space, and text. I didn’t think much of it at the time. It stuck with me.

I started professionally in graphic design, co-founded Dakart, and later led brand and web design at Padel1969 in Andorra. In 2023, I moved into product design, bringing that visual background with me.

Today, I’m interested in the space between how a product works and how it communicates.

, I still draw logos and build brand identities for fun.

Before product, I spent five years building brands: logos, packaging, print and the social work that carries them. Four of those, told the same way as the product work.
