Hi, I'm Sepidehđź‘‹

I’m a passionate Product / UX Designer with 8+ years of experience across design, entrepreneurship, marketing, and photography. I specialize in bridging the gap between design, business, and technology to create user-centered solutions that are both meaningful and accessible.
Driven by a deep curiosity about human behavior, I strive to understand not just what users do, but why they do it. I’ve had the privilege of working with people of all ages, which has shaped the way I research, design, and validate experiences.
Outside of work, I love exchanging perspectives, whether at conferences, community gatherings, or through platforms like ADPlist. I find inspiration in everyday life: running in nature, traveling, exploring Swedish culture, or expressing myself through photography, painting, and playing the harp. These practices help me stay grounded, creative, and connected to the world around me.
If you’re into design, nature, or visual storytelling, feel free to reach out. I’d love to connect and share ideas.
