πŸ‘‹ Hey There!

I'm Afiya Juyairia.

Design Philosophy
Think in Systems
‍Design does not exist in a vacuum. I look at everything as a system to make sure I understand the holistic experience to get to the underlying root causes.
Design For Growth
I design through the dual lens of UX and business impact. In practice, I prioritize solutions that drive impact & user success.
Collaboration is King
‍The best products are created by collaborative teams. I intently collaborate with non-design teams and do what is best for the product, users & company.
Why Product Design?
‍
I pursued Product/UX Design because more than anything, I love problem solving; UX design is doing just that on a daily basis.

More broadly, I pursued a career in tech because nothing excites me than being involved in the shaping of humanity’s future.
