Hi! I’m Hadji, a designer based in San Diego. My design process starts with understanding the person first—what they’re trying to accomplish, where things get frustrating, and how design can make the experience easier.

I recently graduated from UC San Diego, where I studied Cognitive Science with a focus on Design and Interaction. Through my work and projects, I’ve become especially drawn to UX and product design, where I can combine research, systems thinking, and visual design to turn messy problems into intuitive experiences.

Outside of design, I’ve always been a creator. Whether I’m taking photos, building something from an idea, or obsessing over the details of a project, I love seeing something go from a thought to something real. Long term, I want to build products that people genuinely enjoy using.
