About me

I’m Sahar, a multidisciplinary UX/UI designer with a background in architecture, focused on creating meaningful digital experiences.

Trained as an architect, I learned to design with empathy and understand how people move through spaces. Today, I apply that same human-centered approach to digital products, crafting intuitive, accessible, and visually clear experiences across mobile and web.

Originally from Iran, I studied architecture before transitioning into UX/UI design. Living in five countries and traveling across Asia, the Middle East, and Europe has shaped my global perspective and strengthened my ability to design for diverse audiences.

Combining structure with sensitivity, I enjoy uncovering insights and transforming complex ideas into simple, thoughtful solutions.

From user research to high-fidelity interfaces, I craft digital products that are clear, functional, and human-centered.
