About Me

Hi there!

I'm Mina, a UX designer based in Seattle, WA. I'm deeply curious about what people think, how they feel, and why they behave the way they do. That curiosity led me to study sociology at UC Berkeley, where I developed a passion for observing society and exploring different cultures.

After graduation, I worked on localization projects for a tech company. While living in Silicon Valley, I discovered UX design and was immediately drawn to its overlap with sociology. I saw a clear connection between understanding people and designing meaningful experiences. I believe in using research and data to guide decisions that truly meet people’s needs.

Most recently, I earned a Master’s degree in Human-Centered Design and Engineering from the University of Washington. To me, good design is simple, intuitive, and purposeful—and it leaves users with a positive experience.

Outside of work, I enjoy swimming and taking clay classes with friends. These activities help me unwind, stay creative, and connect with others beyond the screen.
