01 — About

Designing with
empathy & craft

A product designer who believes great design is invisible — it simply feels right. I merge research rigour with aesthetic precision.

I'm a UX/UI Designer with deep expertise in creating user-centred, visually appealing, and functional digital products. I have a strong understanding of user research, wireframing, prototyping, and usability testing.

Passionate about problem-solving and improving digital experiences through data-driven design. Currently working full-time at Lyra Team, building scalable design systems and leading end-to-end product design across web and mobile.

Beyond client work, I'm conducting doctoral research at the National Aviation Academy of Azerbaijan, and I'm an active freelancer on Upwork, collaborating with international teams across North America, Europe, and the Middle East.
