Hi there,
I'm Mina
UX Designer
I’m a product designer with a strong foundation in user-centered design, shaped by both my professional experience and my master’s degree in Human-Centered Design & Engineering from the University of Washington.
I’ve led end-to-end UX design projects across enterprise, healthcare, and government products—from research and usability testing to interaction design, prototyping, and high-fidelity UI design. I enjoy collaborating closely with product managers and engineers to translate complex problems into intuitive, engaging experiences that balance user needs with business goals.
My design philosophy is simple: great products should reduce complexity, feel intuitive, and create experiences people genuinely enjoy coming back to.
