As a UX designer,

Ishraq Ashtarian

I am passionate about crafting innovative and empathetic digital experience. I am driven by a desire to explore the intersection of technology, art, design, and human behavior. My diverse background in architecture, arts management, and design and technology allows me to approach design challenges from multiple perspectives, bringing a unique blend of creativity and technical expertise.
 

I am skilled in a range of design tools, including Figma, Adobe Photoshop, and Blender, and have a strong foundation in UX research and prototyping. My work is characterized by a strong emphasis on user-centred design, attention to details, and commitment to delivering high-quality solutions. I am excited to contribute my skills and passion to a team that values innovation and user experience. 

Aside from design, Ishraq plays tennis, travels around the world, and makes short films.
