About
I design unique, client-facing products and experiences.
Over the past 5 years I have moved from learning the art of UX to leading it. I specialize in turning messy problems into clear interfaces, and I have led a 13-person team to do exactly that at a global non-profit. I care about visuals, research, and the small details that make software feel human.

Testimonials
In 2023, my design team at ClassLink needed a new designer to handle an expanded workload. Minah's portfolio stood out to me due to her strong visual acumen and the completeness of the projects she presented. I didn't regret bringing her into the team, as Minah proved to possess high adaptability to the often chaotic speed at which design is generated at ClassLink. She is clearly a UX designer who is capable of high quality ideation even in situations where project specifications aren't immediately obvious, and is also adept at establishing strong relationships with product owners.
At ClassLink, Minah primarily focussed on district leadership oriented products such as Analytics+, which generally involved higher complexity workflows and data display methods. She demonstrated a strong ability to take highly complicated specifications and consider them within the context of the user's needs, resulting in UX work that was highly optimized for its specific user type. I have no doubt Minah would make a great addition to any UX team, especially for products focussed on complicated admin-facing workflows or educational-technology related services.
”Erik Reiblein
Director of Design, ClassLink
I worked with Minah on the launch of a new ClassLink data product. She joined while the product was still MVP-level and built the visual and interaction language from the ground up while engineering was still in motion.
She's fast at turning vague technical requirements into clear flows, and easy to collaborate with when the design and the build need to evolve together. Her Figma files were well organized and easy to follow, which made handoff straightforward. I highly recommend her for any team!
