My design philosophy – to serve people and make life easier

I’m Zina. My background blends technical knowledge, design expertise, and research skills, grounded in a degree in Industrial Design with a focus on user-centered thinking.

I’ve had the chance to design enterprise and consumer products across agencies, startups, and product companies, including in pharma and fintech. I thrive in fast-paced environments, adapt quickly, and enjoy balancing hands-on work with supporting and empowering my teams.

Curious and always learning, I’m inspired by the wisdom of others and driven to explore how immersive technologies can create positive change in education and beyond.

Outside of design, you’ll often find me exploring art museums, recording and editing videos, or making memories with my family.

If you’re looking for a designer who combines creativity, strategy, and measurable results — I’d love to connect!
