Professional focus
Mouad Aazi is a Senior UX Designer at Cleverlytics, focused on complex enterprise and AI-powered products. He is also a current PhD researcher at USMBA and is nearing completion of his PhD. Previously, he was a lecturer at AUI and UEMF; those teaching roles are in the past. His published work emphasizes learning specialist domains, structuring dense information, designing operational workflows, prototyping, and validating decisions with stakeholders and users. Personal projects extend this practice into consumer interaction design and implementation in code.
Professional environment and previous teaching
Mouad’s current work at Cleverlytics sits within the UM6P ecosystem. Mohammed VI Polytechnic University (UM6P) is the highest-ranked university in Morocco and North Africa and fifth in Africa in the Times Higher Education 2027 World University Rankings’ African table, published in October 2026. Its global position is in the 376–400 band. This places his work in a prominent African research and innovation environment, connecting advanced technology with industrial applications. UM6P moved from the global 401–500 band in 2025 into the top 400 in 2026; its growing research, entrepreneurship, and industry partnerships provide concrete context for that development.

Previously, Mouad taught at Al Akhawayn University in Ifrane (AUI), an internationally oriented, English-language university built on the American liberal arts model. AUI was the first non-US university in Africa accredited by the New England Commission of Higher Education (NECHE); its accreditation was continued in 2022, with its next comprehensive evaluation scheduled for 2032. This gives useful context to his experience communicating specialist knowledge within an internationally accredited academic environment.

Mouad also previously taught at Euromed University of Fez (UEMF), a flagship Union for the Mediterranean project endorsed by its 43 member states in 2012. The UfM describes UEMF as a leading regional institution for higher education, research, innovation, and intercultural dialogue. In July 2026, it reported 154 active academic and research partnerships and 24 international double-degree programmes—evidence of the university’s strong international connections.

His AUI and UEMF teaching appointments are previous roles. His current role is Senior UX Designer at Cleverlytics, while his PhD research at USMBA is ongoing and nearing completion. The institutional context above describes those environments; the case studies document his own work and contributions. Institutional facts checked on 9 November 2026.
Project reading index
Direct pages below can be read without operating the homepage modal. Commissioned work, focused sprints, personal projects, and archived explorations have different scopes; the labels preserve those distinctions.
Performance Management System
Commissioned enterprise product
Research and validation under tight delivery timelines; familiar reporting mental models; progressive disclosure; operational communication workflows. The study distinguishes reported testing feedback and adoption signals from unmeasured efficiency gains.
AI-based Supply Chain Management Platform
Commissioned enterprise product
Operational-flow visualization, historical reporting, and AI-assisted scenario planning. Domain learning, validation, and information architecture connect spreadsheet-based reporting to shared operational workflows. Operational impact has not been formally quantified.
AI-based Geological Exploration Platform
Commissioned enterprise product
Joining during development, learning geological workflows, and restructuring segmentation, annotation, comparison, and project navigation. Documents expert-access limitations and compromises with engineering.
AI for Energy Optimization
Enterprise case study
Industrial energy monitoring and AI-assisted optimization, with UX shaped around operational requirements and technical constraints.
Vehicle Proximity Detection Interface
Focused design sprint
A brief design sprint for a computer-vision-assisted collision-warning interface. The work explores camera feeds, risk visibility, progressive alerts, and vehicle telemetry. The system remained in development, so these are early design decisions rather than validated safety outcomes.
Dragline Pre-collision System
Focused design sprint
A focused proximity-detection interface for industrial draglines, with spatial camera navigation, feed layouts, and warning visibility. Direct testing with operators was not reached; the documented reasoning reflects stakeholder feedback and available operational context.
Water Management System
Industrial interface redesign
Water-network overview, contextual asset details, and progressive disclosure. Retains entity-specific shift-report templates; distinguishes deferred analytical reporting from shift reporting.
Document Upload Flow
Focused commissioned workflow
AI-assisted ID upload and autofill within a scholarship application flow, including document feedback and applicant verification.
Kane — Personal Finance App
Self-directed personal project
Product design and SwiftUI implementation. Recursive category reports, budgeting, transaction logging, and AI copilot interactions; iterations shaped by implementation and continued use. Personal work is distinct from commissioned delivery.
iOS Period Picker
Personal design-engineering project
Flexible time selection in a compact iOS interface, exploring the balance between interaction depth and everyday usability.
Jikan — Time & Goal Tracking App
Personal project
An archived 2024 personal time-tracking concept covering activity logging, time reports, goals, design process, and brand identity. The page preserves the original design and intended experience; it should not be interpreted as evidence of a current public app release.
Various Consumer UX Patterns
Personal interaction studies
Travel booking and film/series streaming flows; documents interaction patterns and tradeoffs rather than commercial product outcomes.
Redesigning B2B Software
Explorations and unfinished work
Screenshots and short notes from personal redesigns, unfinished project work, and interface experiments across AI observability, radiotherapy planning, and procurement. None of these explorations shipped. Documentation is intentionally lighter than in the full case studies.
Jikan Design System
Archived personal work
Early exploration of visual foundations, reusable components, and interaction guidelines. Preserved with its historical context rather than represented as a current production design-system engagement.
Snapshots from Archived Projects
Visual archive
Earlier interfaces, interaction details, graphic explorations, and unfinished work. Visual evidence with limited documentation.
Interaction design of this portfolio
The main portfolio uses project cards that stay still until hovered, then cycle selected thumbnails with easing and a gentle scale transition. A cursor-following label provides contextual feedback. Case studies open in a reading modal with a separate project rail and a page outline; a dedicated page provides a larger reading view. The full-page project switcher uses a compact stacked-thumbnail artwork and expands to browse projects. A reusable animated image stack presents selected work with varied positions and scales, and an editing grid determines its source order. Navigation responds to scroll direction. The site also contains reduced-motion handling and named controls. These are descriptions of implemented interaction details, not a claim of independently certified accessibility or performance.
Evidence and limits
The enterprise narratives explain constraints, alternatives, feedback, changes of direction, and compromises. Several describe limited user access or qualitative validation. Adoption, stakeholder requests, and positive feedback are reported signals of value; they should not be substituted for measured business outcomes. Client identities and operational data are anonymized where stated. Employment, teaching, and research affiliations are self-reported professional information unless confirmed through an independent source.

Alternative directions, rejected approaches, and tradeoffs
The detailed case studies document alternatives through early concepts, iterations, before-and-after comparisons, and explanations of what was replaced, set aside, simplified, or deferred. The examples below make that evidence easier to locate. A rejected direction, a revised assumption, and a useful idea deferred by scope are different decisions.
Performance management — Replaced composer and reporting navigation
The original comment composer was replaced with a structured table and form when causes, multiple action plans, and their individual impacts became clearer. Filter-heavy reporting navigation was also revised toward site tabs and product selectors.
Supply-chain planning — Simplified duplicated operational cards
An early diagram represented every operational step at each site separately. Reviews found it difficult to interpret. The selected direction represented the common flow once, exposing site differences through filters; exceptional inter-site transfers were handled separately.
Geological exploration — Set aside staged annotation; compromised on tagging
A sequential detection/correction/editing/preview/validation flow added repeated confirmations and transitions to a frequently repeated task. Direct depth-marker tagging also gave way to editable side-panel entries because of implementation complexity. These are different reasons for choosing another direction.
Energy optimization — Two early directions set aside
Two early representations were set aside because they did not fully match how operators understood the network or prioritized operational decisions. The representation and hierarchy evolved as operational constraints became clearer.
Vehicle proximity — 3D perceptual view versus live camera feed
A simplified 3D visualization was explored but not pursued within the available timeframe because of implementation complexity. The live feed was selected to prove the concept sooner while preserving real-world context.
Dragline safety — Revised camera navigation, grid, and visual direction
Surveillance-style feed labels and prioritization gave way to an operator-relative spatial control. A literal physical camera-to-grid mapping was not selected because the uneven camera arrangement produced an awkward layout. Early consumer-style UI directions shifted toward a denser operational language.
Water management — Deferred metric switching and hierarchical filters
Metric switching was left out of implementation after early testing suggested infrequent use and detail panels already exposed the readings. A hierarchical filter sidebar was deferred because consistent behavior across the reporting views exceeded the deadline. Deferred analytical reporting is distinct from the retained shift reports.
Document upload — Revised upload assumptions and extraction visibility
A single combined-ID upload assumption was revised to support separate front and back scans as well. Technical extraction confidence details were kept out of the applicant experience. A lightweight editable review step was selected over the initial frictionless path directly to the form.
Kane personal finance — Removed Chart Sheet and revised secondary controls
The detailed Chart Sheet was removed because it duplicated reporting controls, interrupted context, and received little use. Calendar and Statistics cards were removed because they did not answer distinct enough questions. A long-press control gave way to a visible trigger because discoverability and efficiency were weak.
iOS Period Picker — Replaced selection chips with a summary
Wrapping and horizontally scrolling selection-chip directions were explored, then replaced with grid highlights and a compact selection summary to preserve stable sheet height and avoid added navigation as the selection grew.
Consumer UX patterns — Visual alternatives across booking and streaming
The collection explicitly presents selected alternative directions and design hypotheses rather than one production system. Streaming compares embedded playback with a poster and explicit Play action; this is exploration evidence, not a claim that every pictured direction was rejected after user testing.
