Tamara Osseiran
Hello, I’m Tamara – a Product Designer, Product Strategist, and Product Builder. I thrive on bringing measurable impact through strategic thinking and thoughtful design. Those who have worked with me often see me as detail-oriented, gently opinionated, and a forward-thinker. I excel at bringing clarity and order to complex systems with disparate information.
Originally from Lebanon, I have lived in Saudi Arabia and Canada, before making my way to Texas, now splitting my time between Austin and Dallas. In my current role as the Director of Product at Circuit Stream, I lead and manage the team behind the learning experiences, paving the way for career opportunities in technology for both adults and teenagers. Prior to that, I was the Lead Product Designer at Yahoo Finance, focusing on native app experiences.
With over 7 years of experience, I have worn many hats in my career: from design leader to product manager, to graphic designer, marketer, and service designer. With my diverse background and experience, I bring a unique perspective and a versatile skill set to every project.

Tamara immediately elevated the design language on native, redefined how the Finance design team works, and increased cross-functional collaboration by demanding transparency. Making her design lead on native was an easy call, and she is already excelling in the role.

Tamara is natural at collaboration: her continued efforts in partnering and co-leading our efforts to develop a cross-platform Finance component library will be a game-changer in our design process which will allow the design team to scale rapidly, and give the designers greater flexibility in moving across platforms, (not to mention the consistency of experience for our customers).

Tamara is a truly exceptional product thinker and designer and I feel beyond fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with her closely. Tamara has a truly unique combination of raw talent, work ethic and an unrelenting pursuit to launch the best product possible. We had the chance to work together on many hugely impactful initiatives on the Yahoo Finance apps and I can honestly say that very many wouldn’t have even been possible, let alone be nearly as successful, without her deep, genuine care for the user and belief in the mission. Whilst Tamara’s title was that of a designer, she was in truth an invaluable part of the entire product lifecycle.

The value Tamara has brought to the team is immeasurable. Tamara willingly stepped into lead design on native team on day one quickly gaining the support of her cross-functional partners. She also contributed greatly to improving how we work, by defining our Figma workflow and helping us transition off of Abstract with limited interruption. Tamara also worked closely with her engineering partners to build out a reliable design system for native. If you’ve had the pleasure of working with her, you know I’m only scratching the surface.
Peer Review from Yahoo, 2023
Tamara has high attention for detail and displays a very high standard of work. A notable example is stepping in and building a scalable design system, making our efforts more scalable. You can count on Tamara to get the job done and do so with the highest quality.

Since rejoining the team, Tamara immediately elevated the quality and standards throughout the organization. She transformed our websites, created new process for content creation with a new product team, researched and developed new products that have been successfully launched in market. Overall, I chose ownership, because it’s a value that if you do effectively, tends to embody many other values and is a great representation of her overall character. I don’t think she realizes it, but her approach makes us all better and raises our collective potential.
