I am a UX designer and researcher with a Master’s degree in Computer Science (HCI) and dual BSc degrees in Computer Engineering and Industrial Engineering. My expertise lies in blending technical knowledge with a user-centered design approach. Over the past five years, I’ve held roles such as UX researcher and software design manager, gaining hands-on experience leading the end-to-end UI/UX process—from user journey mapping and flow creation to wireframing, prototyping, and high-fidelity design. I’ve conducted user interviews, competitive analysis, and usability studies, and contributed to building scalable design systems. I am passionate about understanding user behavior to create impactful, equity-focused solutions that address real-world problems.
