Hi, I’m Julia Matar, a Product Designer and Industrial Design Engineer with 5+ years of experience spanning UX/UI, responsive web platforms, dashboards, physical product design, 3D modeling, rendering, prototyping, packaging, and product visualization. I enjoy translating user needs, business goals, and technical constraints into intuitive digital workflows, tactile product concepts, CAD-ready design direction, high-fidelity prototypes, and presentation-ready assets.
I thrive in hybrid roles that blend software product thinking with hands-on physical/3D design, turning ideas into user-friendly digital experiences and tangible products.
