Get to know me!
Hello/Selam/Shalom!
Welcome to my portfolio where I share with you my passion in UX research & design through some projects as well as lived experiences that shaped me as a person, researcher, and designer. In my design process, I combine analytical and problem-solving skills with aesthetics to deliver creative, meaningful, and functional projects.

Education
Besides being a General Assembly Alumnus, I studied at UW (University of Washington) and Sciences Po-Paris. At UW, I earned a bachelor's degree in Political Science & Jewish Studies. At Sciences Po, I earned a master's degree in Human Rights & Humanitarian Action with a thematic concentration on Diplomacy & a thematic concentration in the Middle East.
While pursuing my undergraduate degree, I received merit-based scholarship that enabled me to spend a few quarters studying abroad in Italy and Costa Rica. After growing an interest in digital storytelling and the diplomatic aspect of political science and international relations, I took courses in Diplomacy & Negotiations as well as Screenwriting at New York University. That was my way of using the remaining of my scholarships domestically at a prestigious university from which I earned credits that counted towards my graduation.
