I'M
Sara
Ghorashizadeh
UI/UX DESIGNER.
I am a UI/UX designer. I humanise technology. I have 6 years of experience in UI/UX and 17 years in branding. As a UX designer, I’m here to make products and technology usable, enjoyable, and accessible to humans. I usually work as part of a wider product team, and will often find myself bridging the gap between the user, the development team, and key business stakeholders. As a UX designer, it’s my job first and foremost to advocate for the end-user or customer. Whether I’m designing a brand new product, coming up with a new feature, or making changes to an existing product or service I consider what’s best for the user and the overall user experience. At the same time, I am also responsible for making sure that the product or service meets the needs of the business.
My portfolio of UX/UI design includes: User Research & Testing, Wireframes, Rapid Prototyping, User Interface (UI) Design, Interaction Design & Atomic Design System
