This is Elnaz Doostdar

I’ve been designing enterprise solutions and MVP features for 8 years.

From when I was little I was obsessed with solving puzzles and continued to have this passion since then. My curiosity took me through an exciting academic journey, from BA in computer hardware engineering, to MA in web development and finally a Cert in user experience and customer-centered design to become a UX designer. I love to take initiatives and explore different areas of science to expand my perspective in life.

For the last few years, I've been persistent to learn and apply UX best practices to the elegant interfaces I designed across various platforms. My goal is to make a positive impact on how the technology works through designing enduring experiences for people.

Besides design, you can find me working on my side projects, hiking, or trying different recipes that allow me to be creative in different ways.

Achiever

My academic background reflects my persistence to achieve what I put my mind. I outperformed in taking initiatives and succeeded in delivering projects that improved both the user experience and pushed the needle for the business. Thus I've quickly evolved in my career as a designer.

Collaborator

I love to work in a collaborative environment and passionate about learning from and giving back what I know.

Tech Fan

I’m a big technology fan and inspired about the upcoming changes to the digital world. The capabilities that seemed impossible in the past have become available not only visually but virtually and through voice. As a technology enthusiast, I’m excited to constantly explore these platforms and the new opportunities they bring to the field of design.
