UNEFA

If you've made it this far, you're likely curious as to how my background in Telecommunications engineering fits into my current business.

You see, being a tech enthusiast is an integral part of who I am. 

I have a passion for learning about innovative solutions, with a particular interest in IoT protocols and Satellite communications. I possess coding skills as well as the ability to create electronic circuits.

Now, I know what you're thinking: "What does this have to do with design?" 
While it may not seem related, I recognized the potential to leverage these skills in the Web3 space.

As a university professor, I often found myself teaching my students about Starlink and other technical topics. At the same time, I began freelancing and creating unique designs for clients around the world.

Despite being referred to as the "youngest teacher," I loved my job.

However, in 2018, I discovered Bitcoin and became in love with it.
One day I decided to focus all my efforts on designing for Web3 business. 

So I did.

And I won’t lie – turning my passion into a business felt incredibly good.
Web3 is the perfect match for creativity and tech.

So, how does being a "University Professor" make me a better Designer than I am today? 
1. It's easier for me to understand the technicalities of Web3.
2. I learnt how to explain complex things easily.
3. It's me being me. Authenticity rules!

Hi! If you're reading this, it's likely because:
👉 You want to turbocharge your growth.
👉 You're a designer looking to improve your skills.
👉 You are a Web3 Recruiter looking for a designer.

After years of freelancing, I saw a gap – a need for design that spoke the language of Web3.

I can effectively communicate complex design concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences. I love working collaboratively with developers, product managers, and marketing teams. I'm always looking for new challenges and opportunities to grow as a designer. 

Building in the decentralized world comes with unique challenges. You need to stand out in a crowded marketplace, foster trust with a new audience, and create interfaces that are intuitive and secure. That's where I come in.

Here's how I help you win in Web3:

✅ Web3 Marketing: Create compelling marketing materials that drive adoption and engagement.

✦ Hi, I’m Yassin Bader
When people ask what do you do? 
I say, I get your clients while I save you time and energy.

Ultimately I am a marketer, creator, coach, and yes I am also the guy who sells trees 🌳 that make money and reduce emissions.

I run YBader, a creative marketing & coaching studio helping brands stand out, scale up, and stay human. My roots are in sales, my passion is in storytelling, and my tools include AI, automation, and a whole lot of heart and creativity.

When I’m not helping companies connect with their audience, I’m creating content, mentoring talent, or closing deals for Trees Life, where we turn sustainability into a smart investment, for individuals and businesses alike.

Multilingual, multidisciplinary, and mildly obsessed with workflows that actually work, I love transforming chaos into clarity, from SEO to CRM, from video edits to visionary funnels.
