Hello! Thanks for stopping by.
I’m Sana and I bring nearly eight years of research, design, and thoughtful use of data to create strategic solutions that meet business and user needs. I’m currently a Senior UX Designer with Creative Development Group, where I’m helping modernize direct to consumer permits for a regulatory agency within the Department of Treasury. My past experiences include:
Being a Senior Interactive Designer with PBS for PBS Learning Media, PBS Kids for Parents, and backend systems
Redesigning public services with Deloitte
Designing media experiences with Washingtonian Magazine
Some industries I have previously worked in include non-profit, education, enterprise technology, government, healthcare, music, and event design. You can read more about my experience on my resume below.
For inspiration, I like to:
draw fruit on my iPad
read comics (currently in a Kara Zor-El phase)
cook (currently going through Coconut and Sambal)
write about the intersection of romance, class, money, and culture or the occasional short story
play games (currently obsessed with Hades 2)
play my guitar Elessar, a stylish Fender Strat
Here’s a talk I did about how COVID has impacted UX Design!
