I’m Nourhan, a scientist-turned-UX-specialist 👩🏻‍🔬 with a passion for design and creating special user experiences. As a Pharmacy and Biotechnology graduate with a career in higher science education, I realized that what I loved most about teaching was creating memorable and unique experiences for my students in the classroom.

Combining my passion of learning with my love for all things design, I embarked on the UX/UI design journey and haven’t looked back.

My prior experiences have been an incredible asset to my UX/UI design process; my scientific background has given me a never-ending curiosity and a keen mind for testing through research, and my educational background has instilled the importance of empathy, inclusion, and teamwork in everything I do.

I wholeheartedly believe that all user experiences should be special, whether inside a classroom, unpacking a product, or happily navigating an app. Users find joy in the smallest of details, even if they themselves may be unaware of it. From helping users quickly recover from errors to ensuring smooth navigation, each interaction is carefully planned for and designed.
