About me
Salam,
My name is Mahan. I use strategy, design, and technology to solve human wicked problems. At first, I thought architecture is great because it is both art and science! After completing two architecture degrees, I realized it is computers that are both art and science. That’s when I started to become an architect of digital products rather than mortar and bricks.
Qualitative Research
I started my career as a sociologist, which allowed me to gain a great deal of experience conducting in-depth interviews and qualitative research methods.
Prototyping
In my first UX designer job, I had the opportunity to perfect my prototyping skills. My favorite tools are Axure and Figma.
UI Design & Branding
In 2019, I took an in-depth UI course to improve my UI design and graphic design skills. Since then I've been involved in UI design and branding projects as well.
What I do when I'm not working
If you can't find me at my computer, I'm either skateboarding, skiing, or just enjoying a coffee at my favorite specialty coffeeshop, the Beenie's.
