Hi! I'm Layan.
Summary
A highly driven and empathetic UX Researcher and Designer with 2 years of experience advocating for user needs across various industries. With a deep understanding of the user and the significance of user-centered design, I am committed to creating meaningful experiences that address the unique requirements and aspirations of individuals.
​
Outside of my professional work, I actively engage in design projects, constantly seeking new opportunities to push boundaries and explore innovative ideas. One of my significant initiatives is the establishment of Alnas Collective (@alnascollective), a platform aimed at showcasing the rich culture and diversity of the Islamic community in Detroit through creative expression. By leveraging design and storytelling, we celebrate the talent and unique perspectives within our community, fostering unity and inspiring others.
