i'm zeyna! i’m a full-stack product designer and researcher that creates and improve products that help people and build community. i care about designing for impact, with my heart being in wellness, sustainability, education, and human rights advocacy initiatives.

growing up, i loved all things art and digital media— i spent my time doodling all over my class assignments, leveling up my pokemon on the gba and nintendo ds, and watching cartoons and reading comics. i knew that i wanted to do something creative when i grew up, but my experience as a first-gen palestinian in a small town in the American south also exposed me to a wealth of problems in the world that i want to help in addressing. now, i hope to make meaningful change through design. no matter how big or small of an impact my work has, i hope to use the power of design to create and improve products that help people and build community.

aside from design, i love learning and exploring new topics and places. i also enjoy pursuing other creative outlets like painting, sketching, and most recently, rug tufting! i can also be found:

• exploring and traveling wherever i can- most recently, i spent summer 2024 in istanbul <3

• making little drinks in my home cafe, as an avid coffee + tea-lover

• playing video games (currently: stardew valley, spiderman 2)

• capturing and documenting moments of joy (see below)
