Profile: https://flows.cv/larakabkab

I love to create easy, enjoyable and beautiful user interfaces that solve user pain points first and foremost, but also have an impact on their lives and behaviors to instigate positive change.


Graphic Design in all its subfields is my passion. I'm intrigued by the worlds of typography, animation, and advertising, but I fell in love with the interactive design world and its problem-solving aspect.

 I take pleasure in truly understanding people's problems. This helps my designs have an impact on their lives and even behaviors and to positively make a change. I am extremely eager to respond to those needs by finding solutions through easy and intuitive human-centered design.

My ability to analyze situations from all angles, combined with my visual design training, allows me to create products and interfaces that are appealing and intuitive to use.

As a designer, one of my biggest dreams is to pursue design with a social purpose. Interaction design is a field that prioritizes people’s experiences, and I hope that through it, I can help bring change wherever needed. I believe that even a small change can have a big impact on people's lives, and I want to drive that change. I am also interested in designing user-friendly products which are inclusive of different age, ethnic, and social groups in order to help make technology more accessible to everyone.
