I'm Sahar,
a product designer based in Los Angeles.
Design has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. From doodling shapes on scraps of paper to shaping digital products, my passion for creativity has always been tied to the human experience. Today, I’m a Product Designer & Strategist focused on crafting thoughtful, user-centered products that inspire connection, well-being, and curiosity.
With over five years experience, I’ve worked with agencies, consulted for start-ups, and collaborated with talented teams—all with a focus on human connection and meaningful impact.
What drives me is the belief that great design isn’t just about functionality—it’s about creating products that feel human. Whether sketching out user flows, exploring new concepts, or brainstorming with a team, I’m always thinking about how to craft experiences that people truly enjoy and remember.
When I’m not designing, I experiment with creative mindfulness practices—like drawing with no outcome in mind or repurposing broken kitchen supplies. I find joy in anchoring myself in the present moment, and I proudly advocate for this approach through workshops and classes.
