This is mona.

My journey into design started with painting at the age of seven. Years of working as a professional painter shaped my eye for composition, detail, and visual expression—skills that still influence how I approach digital products today. I later earned a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and worked in sales, where I learned to listen closely, understand different priorities, and connect customer needs with business goals. After moving to Germany, I studied Web Development and gained experience in IT and development. That background gave me a practical understanding of how digital products are built and how to collaborate effectively with developers. Today, I work across UX/UI and Product Design, combining visual thinking, user-centered design, business understanding, and technical knowledge. I’ve also worked with AI-driven product features, which has strengthened how I think about emerging technology, usability, and product value. I’ve learned not to become attached to the first idea, but to challenge and validate design decisions through research, user feedback, and data—creating experiences that work for both users and the business.
