Omer is a true design Swiss Army Knife: he can do marketing, UX, UI, wireframes and copy; he can create detailed, granular, pixel-perfect design systems in the morning and super quick-and-dirty wireframes in the afternoon; and above everything else, he's proactive, pushy (in a good way!), and can make things happen. He was a sole, part-time designer in a messy and agile setting - but knew exactly how to make the most out of it and how to move the needle with great results!
