Hi, I’m Nabat Zara. I’m a Vancouver-based designer and artist who blends architecture, UX/UI design, and illustration to create visually engaging experiences. I love turning ideas into coherent visual systems, from paintings to digital interfaces, with a user-centered approach and an eye for detail. When I’m not sketching or painting, I work with design teams and clients to deliver practical, creative solutions. I’ve earned a Graphic Design Certificate from CalArts and an Introduction to UX/UI Design Certificate from IBM, and I actively share my work on Instagram while teaching painting to others.
