👋 Hi, I'm Hajra.

I am a user experience designer based in Moss, Østfold. My work combines a background in graphic design with technology and user-centered design thinking.

In 2023, after being self-taught in graphic design, I enrolled in a UI design program at Noroff School of Technology and Digital Media , further expanding my expertise and skills in the field.Since that time, I’ve applied my skills combining graphic design with technology and user-centered design thinking. In my employment, I have been responsible for all phases of the UX process, from conceptualization and information architecture to wireframing and prototyping. Throughout the lifecycle of a project, I’ve advised visual designers and developers to assist them in meeting strict high standards for usability and design. I have created products and experiences for a wide range of brands in telecom, technology, builders, media, and nonprofit organizations.

In my free time, I enjoy listening to music of all kinds. I have a passion for raising the voices of women around the world. I am multi-lingual, speaking English, Norwegian, and Hindi.

01. Empathy

Design isn’t just how it looks

An interface can look visually stunning and fail because it doesn’t perform well for users. Designers and engineers must work together from the start to create exceptional interactive experiences.

Clarity over cleverness

Design exists to solve real problems for real people. The world needs smarter design solutions, not clever ad campaigns. Focus on the problem you’re solving and be as clear as possible.

Always start with ideas

It’s often tempting to crack open Sketch too early in the process. Instead, understand your problem and develop a plan of attack developed through ideation, research and sketching.

Empathize with the end-user

Find out who will be using the thing you’re making after it’s released. You might even go meet some of them. Once you understand where they’re coming from, design for them. Only them.

Sweat the small stuff

Whether it’s fixing the nasty anti-aliasing on those icons you designed or fine-tuning the language on your error messages to be more helpful, attention to detail is what separates the men from the boys.

Never, ever stop learning

In an ever-evolving industry, complacency is the enemy of great design. Proactive and continuous learning ensures growth. Challenge yourself, your work and what you believe on a daily basis.
