About

I’m passionate about crafting digital experiences that not only look great but also feel intuitive and seamless for users. Over the years, I’ve developed a strong background in UI/UX design, where I’ve had the opportunity to work on a variety of projects. From creating sleek interfaces for e-commerce platforms to designing interactive mobile apps that keep users engaged, my focus has always been on blending functionality with aesthetics. My approach is rooted in design thinking and user-centred principles, ensuring that every project meets the unique needs of its users.<ul><li> If you’d like to see more of my work, feel free to check out my portfolio. <a href="https://mehrnazmaleki6070fa5.myportfolio.com/" target="_blank" style="font-weight: 900;">View my portfolio</a>
