Mahboubi
I started my career the way most designers do — curious, slightly lost, and convinced that figuring out what people actually need was the most interesting problem in the world. That hasn't changed.
What began with a move to a new city at eighteen, studying people as much as textbooks, eventually led me through sales floors, an Executive MBA, and into UX — where I finally found the place where user needs and business goals meet. That intersection is where I've lived professionally ever since.
Six years in, I work across the full product stack: research that shapes strategy, systems that scale, interfaces that feel inevitable. I still think the most important skill in this work is listening before designing.
Outside work I'm learning piano from scratch — something I've wanted since childhood. Learning hard things as an adult makes me a better designer.
If you'd like to connect, I'm on LinkedIn — always happy to meet people who care about making things well.
