Hello, earthling —I’m Nora — officially Mahdieh Molaei
I’m a UX/Product Designer with a background in industrial design, digital media, and research, and over 6 years of experience across UX/UI design, digital learning platforms, AI-assisted experiences, and research-driven product development.
I’m interested in creating digital experiences that sit at the intersection of human needs, business goals, and product thinking. To me, design is more than making interfaces look good—it’s about bringing clarity to complexity and helping people accomplish what they need with confidence and ease.
Outside of design, you can usually find me enjoying the smell of rain-soaked earth after a storm, baking strawberry cakes, or talking about myths and old legends. :)
I enjoy bringing together research, strategy, visual design, and storytelling, and I believe the best products are the ones that not only work well, but also leave people feeling something.
