In VR/AR design, I have created various prototypes that use interactive features to enhance user engagement. These designs have incorporated audio, haptic feedback, and spatial interaction to provide users with a more immersive experience.

In addition, I have more than 50 certificates regarding to UX and UI design from Interaction Design Foundation and Google, also I know HTML, CSS and the basics of Flutter which gives me a rare opportunity to see the designs with a developer’s mindset and create them in the most feasible and accessible way.
I am comfortable working alone or as part of a team, having been a freelancer for a long time, and being a part of a folk band since the age of 7. Agile is one of the methodologies that is widely accepted in the world and is often required from anyone who wants to be part of a successful team.
