About Me

Hi there!

I'm Mina, a UX designer based in Seattle, WA. I'm deeply curious about what people think, how they feel, and why they behave the way they do. I’ve always found it fascinating to observe society and explore different cultures—which led me to study sociology at UC Berkeley.
‍
After graduation, I worked on localization projects for a tech company. Living in Silicon Valley, I discovered UX design and was immediately drawn to its overlap with sociology. I saw a clear connection between understanding people and designing meaningful experiences for them. I believe in using research and data to guide design decisions that truly meet people’s needs.

Most recently, I earned my Master's degree in Human-Centered Design and Engineering from the University of Washington.

To me, good design is simple, intuitive, purposeful—and leaves users with a positive experience.

During my downtime, I enjoy swimming and taking clay classes with friends. These activities help me unwind, stay creative, and connect with others outside of work.
