Available to hire
Hi, I’m Derya Zaimoğlu, a UX Designer & Researcher with a strong foundation in user-centered design and Design Thinking. I thrive in cross-functional teams and international projects, turning user insights into intuitive products through iterative testing and collaboration.
With a background in Clinical Psychology, I blend behavioral science with design to create meaningful experiences. I’ve completed Google UX Design certificates and am expanding into Data Science and AI—most recently leading PlantSense, a photo-based plant diagnosis and care app, and continuously refining research methods, information architecture, and high-fidelity prototypes.
