About …
Hi, I'm Naima Syed, a UX/UI designer with a bachelor’s degree in journalism. I have a unique journey from journalism to design. Growing up, I was passionate about reading and writing, which sparked my creativity and love for storytelling. My background in journalism has not only enriched my design approach but also equipped me with expertise in UX writing and research—two areas where clear communication and thorough investigation are essential.
Transitioning into UX was a way to bring my storytelling and research skills into an entirely new, creative, and user-centered space. My work allows me to craft engaging, informative, and inspiring experiences, spanning the complete design process—from ideation and prototyping to usability testing and implementation. Embracing diverse aspects of UX and UI, every project is a fulfilling adventure that enhances both my skills and the value I bring to users
As I continue to grow in the UX world, I'm excited to create impactful designs and narratives that put users first and bring compelling stories to life.
When I’m not designing, you’ll find me diving into a good book, exploring new tech, or trying out creative projects. I'm always on the lookout for a great story or a fun way to spark inspiration. Looking forward to what's next!

In my free time, I enjoy playing board games with my family and friends. My absolute favorite is Catan—a game that’s all about strategy which makes every round exciting and competitive!
I love reading and writing, it has always been a great way for me to articulate my thoughts. My favourite books of all time have to be; Wuthering Heights, The Alchemist, and A Thousand Splendid Suns. I highly recommend them!
I've always found that baking helps me decompress & feel better. I enjoy the process of beginning to completion, where each exact measurement contributes to making the perfect cookie!
I find that weight training, pilates, hot yoga, and long walks are the best ways to rejuvenate, declutter my mind, and establish a connection with my body and spirit!
I first discovered my creative and artistic side through makeup, where I had the freedom to experiment with colors and explore new looks
Fun fact: As a child, I dreamed of becoming a pilot! My love for planes even led me to take training, and I’ve had the thrill of flying a plane, an experience not many can say they've had!
