👋 Hi, I’m Ziai

Background in Architecture.
In May of 2023, I graduated from Stuart Weitzman School of Design at the University of Pennsylvania. There, I was obsessed with the aesthetic of architectural materials and the diverse, creative expression of forms and spaces.

Why did I choose to become a product designer?
Three-year academic journey honed my creativity, yet it often felt self-indulgent. Architecture does consider the user, but product and UX design place a much stronger emphasis on user experience. I find myself drawn more towards solving genuine user problems and enjoy rapidly iterating design ideas and products.

Design strengths
Over the years, I've cultivated a keen sense of aesthetics, nurtured critical thinking skills, and honed solid modeling abilities during my school days. These abilities have accelerated my learning in product/UX design. Now, in a fast-paced startup environment, I can leverage my design expertise to efficiently and effectively tackle tasks.

In my spare time
I like to go to the gym, play some ping pong, whip up delicious meals, and indulge in watching anime. My absolute favorite has to be Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba!
