Hello! My name is Aqeela. I'm a creative thinker. A storyteller. An experience crafter. Curiosity, empathy and a passion for solving problems keep me creative. I love to make things that matter: inspiring things, intuitive things, honest things, and things that have a real and lasting impact in people's lives. As a UX/UI designer with a background in fashion, human centered design has always been my greatest passion. I want to gear my passion towards bringing the core vision of a product or service to life by creating relevant, effective, and convenient solutions that give value to a user's experience.
