May the peace and blessing be upon you

It’s nice to see you here! My name is Zaina Mohamed, and I am a Muslim aspiring UI/UX Web Designer. Anything that has to do with wireframes, Figma, getting to understand users' pain points, and interviewing user testers, I’m your person. In a world that’s chaotic, I love organizing stuff and making it make sense.

Fresh out of high school, I began a path in the education realm to become an elementary teacher. In that path, I realized that the career didn’t fit the vision I had, my personality, nor fit my lifestyle. During that shift, I discovered the “Hello World” example in HTML where you could type a line of code, and something appears out of thin air on the screen. I’ve been fascinated with the digital world since then. I took a diploma at NAIT for Web Design and Development, and that’s where I found my passion for designing digital products from websites to apps. I’m a curious person, and this field allows me to use it to the benefit of others by understanding what is needed and interviewing users with the prototype of a digital product. I enjoy building wireframes and making the product make sense while still being pleasant to look at.

Testimonial

I highly recommend Zaina Mohamed as an exceptionally talented and dedicated web designer and programmer. She combines strong technical ability with a clear eye for design and user experience, producing work that is both user friendly and visually polished. But that isn’t the best part - the best part is her curiosity and her dedication to learn and understand what she may not already befamiliar with. I gave Zaina a rather difficult project and she was able to not only exceed what I’d expected, but she also guided me through the process and explained what she needed from me as the user. Zaina consistently demonstrated enthusiasm, patience and exceptional project management skills, dragging a somewhat difficult client to the finish line while balancing schedule, cost and functionality. I can say with 100% certainty that any team or organization would be fortunate to work with her, and I look forward to her leading my next development project.

I want to benefit my community by either advancing their digital products or building their digital products. I’ve realized that technology could be used as a gadget to amplify the voices of marginalized communities, like in the case of Sudan, Palestine, Congo, and Uyghurs, among other communities. It allows their voices to be heard when they would have been isolated otherwise.


I am always open to connecting with others, so definitely don’t feel shy, let’s connect!
