Hi, I'm Zahra!

 

I'm a Vancouver-based product designer, passionate about creating meaningful experiences through digital products and interfaces.

 

I have an MDes in Interaction Design and a BA in Visual Communications. The path that led me here made me develop a holistic approach in product design where users are the centre of the experience, while taking account of the adjacent users, and the environment encompassing us all (More-than-Human Design*).

In my master's thesis (2022), I collaborated with my colleague Kimia Gholami and devised an inclusive More-than-Human design process.

Other than design

 

I enjoy collecting vintage items🏺, do crafts (of all sorts 🎨✂️), and soak in the endless beauties of British Columbia 🏕. 
I also take a lot of pictures, and occasionally share a few on my Instagram 🎞.
