Started making things.
Computer science gave me the technical side. Curiosity did the rest.

interaction designer who likes to build
I LIKE
THINGS.
Digital things, mostly. Sometimes useful. Sometimes unnecessary. Usually made because I wanted to see what would happen.

SO, WHO IS AMNA?
Somewhere between a designer, a builder, and a person who gets curious too easily.
I studied computer science, then realised I was more interested in what happens between the pixels — how something feels, how an interaction behaves, and why one tiny decision can change an entire experience.
Now I work across interaction design and development. I like being close to the idea and close enough to the code to make it real.
I don't really want to pick one medium. I want to keep making.

YOU PROBABLY HAVE QUESTIONS.
Ask me
something.
A little design. A little code. A little motion. Mostly, I make digital things and obsess over how they feel.
03
THE THING IN THE MIDDLE
I don't separate
design from making.
A good idea changes when it meets a browser. A good interface changes when someone actually uses it. I like being in that messy middle.

THINGS I'M INTO LATELY
Click around.
There is no correct order.
These aren't a skills list. They're just the things currently pulling me down rabbit holes.

HOW DID I GET HERE?
A slightly inaccurate
timeline.
Found design.
Started caring about hierarchy, interaction, systems and why things feel the way they do.
Started building.
Realised I didn't have to stop at the mockup.
Still making.
Trying new tools, making experiments, and figuring out what comes next by actually doing it.
06 / OKAY, ENOUGH ABOUT ME.
Come see
what I made.
I’m interested in interaction design, product design, and design engineering — especially where there is room to think, build, test, and care about the details.
