I’m a user experience designer based in Montreal, Canada. I graduated with a bachelor’s in computer software engineering from Iran and held a certificate in internet programming & development from Canada.

My career shift happened when I worked as a developer and saw how design thinking could solve real-world challenges at scale. In my design journey, I’ve had the opportunity to hold a certificate in “Foundations of Users Experience Design” from Google and “UI/UX Design Specialization” from the California Institute of the arts (Coursera).

Coming from an engineering and design background, I love connecting the dots between business goals, technical constraints, and user satisfaction.

 

I enjoy socializing, photography of routine day-to-day life, painting and doing yoga or looking for last-minute adventures in my free time.
