About me

headshot

I'm Roya, a UX/UI designer who grew up in the Northeast. After an unexpected detour in Austin, TX for some cowboy boots and BBQ, I now find myself amidst the hustle and bustle of New York City.

I chose this field because I love to learn; I use every project and industry as an opportunity to better understand the world. I am passionate about the intersection of human-centered design, social entrepreneurship, and emerging technologies. I believe that design alongside interdisciplinary collaboration has the power to share stories, spread empathy, and foster accessible digital and physical spaces. I aspire to create products that contribute to an enhanced and more equitable human experience.

I'm currently a product designer at Chptr, but I am working on exciting projects in my free time that I am eager to talk about!
