Hi, I'm Rumeysa. Thank you for taking an interest in my journey. I am a UX Designer and Researcher focused on creating thoughtful, user-centered digital experiences.
With a background in Criminology within Behavioral Sciences, I have developed a strong understanding of how people think, decide, and interact with their environment—insights that meaningfully shape my approach to UX design. My training in both quantitative and qualitative research allows me to ground design decisions in evidence and real user needs.
I’m passionate about building practical, fast-moving, and impactful digital solutions. As I continue to grow in the field, I aim to merge my academic expertise with innovative design practices to deliver intuitive, functional, and visually engaging products.
Outside of design, I enjoy visiting museums, knitting, and playing musical instruments—activities that inspire my creativity and broaden my perspective.
