Over the past 4 years, since completing my undergraduate degree in Computer Science from LUMS, Pakistan, I have worked as a UX designer, front end developer, and a passionate advocate for innovation and forward movement in technology. Right now, I'm completing my Master's degree in User Experience from Purdue with the hopes of taking my nuanced understanding of the world and putting form behind ideas in a way that is both grounded and innovative.
I have a particular vested interest in storytelling and digital communities and the way that we connect with others online, both in talking to each other and making friends in other parts of the world just based on common interests.
Ever since I was a child, I've been an avid bookworm and video game fanatic. If anyone was willing to listen, I was going to sit them down and tell them about my love for my latest hyperfixation and why it mattered to me. Even now, this drive to tell stories and have art in my life has propelled me to become a UX designer and researcher because it is the closest I can get to people and their unique stories and passions.
That's all to say: if you have a story to tell, I'm all ears! And if you need help with any of it, you've come to the right person ;D
I'll let you in on a secret. I love writing fiction. If I'm not working on a design project, you'll probably find me filling up notebooks with all the crazy stories that pop into my head and keep me excited about life. Right now, I'm working on a darling project of mine that I hope to finish by the end of the year!
Pen in hand, fingers crossed!
Here's what I'm currently obsessed with 🙈
