Charbel Jamous

About

I’m Charbel, a UX strategist, design partner, and proud dad of two. I’ve spent the last 20+ years helping founders and product teams design better digital experiences; from Beirut to Toronto, from wellness apps to enterprise SaaS. My work is rooted in empathy, strategy, and simplicity. Experienced in diverse industries, my portfolio includes wellness, enterprise SaaS, and event discovery platforms. Co-founded Lebtivity and led product design, guiding growth and user adoption. When I’m not deep in Figma or refining user flows, I’m chasing trains with my 7-year-old, calming toddler tantrums, or recharging over strong coffee and stronger ideas.
