Saeid Alavi
UX Designer in Toronto
About
I love problem-solving and thrive on the principles of Design Thinking.
After 10 years of professional graphic design, I've recently immersed myself into the world of UX design. I've been reading about it, taking courses on it and implementing its principals in my daily life.
You can find a link to a UX project I completed during my studies in Brainstation. I have also created a similar project but using my every day interactions a with my costumers at Staples for a new App which I can share upon your request.
I'm on a journey of learning, And I would always take any opportunity to learn more.
