What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment that values user-centered design and innovation.

I am a dedicated UX/UI Designer with a Master's degree in UX Design from Purdue University, where I achieved a perfect CGPA of 4.0. My academic journey has equipped me with a strong foundation in qualitative research methods and human-computer interaction, allowing me to create user-centered designs that resonate with diverse audiences.

Currently, I work as a UX Designer and Researcher at Asiyah Women’s Center, where I have successfully improved user experience through heuristic evaluations and stakeholder interviews. My efforts led to a 30% increase in subscribers and attracted 4,000 new visitors to the website. Additionally, I have experience teaching Design Thinking at Purdue, guiding students to create award-winning projects that emphasize user-centered design principles.

With a background in computer science and experience in both non-profit and startup environments, I excel in collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver impactful design solutions. I am passionate about leveraging my skills in wireframing, prototyping, and user research to create intuitive and accessible digital experiences.
