THE STORY OF RIDA'S PORTFOLIO

Hello there! I’m Rida a product designer with years of expertise building and maintaining design systems. I am a lifelong lover of the arts and design. Since my undergraduate degree, I worked to master my abilities in using design software like Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator to translate my visions into real designs. Through my courses, I was eventually exposed to the concept of user-centered design.

 

Eventually, I worked as a User Interface Designer for 2+ years at a Canadian startup until early 2024. This opportunity allowed me to hone my Figma skills and gain more experience using Jira and Confluence.

 

What is important to me as a designer is creating work that both moves people or helps improve their lives in a meaningful way. This may look like working a UX/UI (User Experience) designer, Motion designer or Illustrator role. My hope is to use my design skills to positively influence the world around me. Therefore, I have a keen interest in inclusive and accessible design. I imagine achieving this through working in social justice tech or feminist organizations, libraries, the education sector, health sector and so forth!
