Hello! I’m Zainab 👋🏼

A little bit about myself…

I’m a UX Designer and Web Developer based in Brooklyn with a background in Psychology, E-Commerce and Marketing, all of which I love to utilize and merge into my design process. I am extremely passionate about creating engaging experiences which can bring happiness and ease into other people’s lives.

A lot of what I know about design and web development I have learned through bootcamp programs as well as through attending workshops and practicing concepts on my own. For me, it is the best feeling when I can work on a project from start to finish, ideation to development. My goal as a designer and developer is to create beautiful experiences that can provide intuitive solutions for all users. 

I have a fashion merchandising, e-commerce and marketing background as well as experience in implementing user-centered design and design thinking. I wanted to expand my skill set and immerse myself more into the design field, so I have spent the last few years studying UX and Graphic design, as well as web development, through bootcamps as well as independently.

Outside of my professional career, I am a content creator who has worked with several brands on UGC and other social media campaigns. I am also a style curator who puts together secondhand style bundles for clients (kind of like a personal shopper!). I started this as a hobby to merge my love for fashion with my dedication to reducing the negative impact the fashion industry has on our environment.

Currently, I am enrolled in computer science certificate program to learn more about web development and design so I can further improve my skills as a designer + developer 😊 I am also freelancing with several non-profits as a UX Designer and Researcher to continuously expand my skillset.
