Hi I'm Zarah
Curious Problem Solver
I realized I wanted to be a creative professional the moment I saw the music video Take On Me by A-ha. The idea that imagination could become a world you could step into stayed with me, and it still shapes how I design today.
I’m a dreamer who finds inspiration in the cinematic spaces between worlds, from The NeverEnding Story to The Fifth Element to Tron. That sense of possibility fuels my work as a Product Designer: I’m most alive in the In-Between, the stretch of time where exploration is at the forefront. Whether that exploration comes through research, pushing pixels, prototyping, or collaborating with teammates, that liminal space is where ideas take root.
I also love results. Clear insights at the end of a project illuminate both what was achieved and where to go next. Each finding becomes a stepping stone, guiding the next iteration and sharpening the user experience one discovery at a time.
I keep my head in the clouds and my feet on the ground. Designing at that intersection of vision and practicality is the most beautiful balance I get to practice every day.
