I’m Mariyam, a UX/Product Designer

I am a UX Designer with experience in SaaS, Enterprise, B2B/B2C, and FinTech. I focus on enterprise solutions and startup environments, but I enjoy being challenged outside my comfort zone.

My Story

Growing up, I didn't have one true calling; I switched my undergraduate major five times I had many hobbies. It made it difficult to choose a job as an adult. Later in life, I realized that this was the definition of a multipotentialite with many interests and creative pursuits. This superpower has helped me combine two or more fields and create something new at the intersection. It gave me the ability to morph into whatever I needed to be in a given situation.

And that's how I became a UX Designer

As a UX Designer, I have to wear different hats and take on many roles.

  • Understanding and addressing Product Manager's concerns.
  • Understanding business goals and revenue driver
  • Understanding technical constraints and supporting development efforts
