I’m Donya Yarahmadi, a UI/UX Designer based in Milan with 3+ years of experience designing user-centered web and mobile interfaces. I own the full design lifecycle—from user research and flow definition to wireframes, high-fidelity prototypes, design systems, and design QA—always aiming to balance usability, visual quality, and accessibility. I also enjoy bridging the gap between design and development by using AI-assisted tools to prototype faster and communicate clearer specs. Throughout my roles at Aladia and as a freelancer, I’ve designed complex e-learning and integration experiences for different audiences, built scalable Figma component libraries and tokens, and iterated based on usability testing insights and cross-functional collaboration.
