Hi, I'm Nouran - a UX/UI designer based in Stuttgart.

I got here through architecture — a path through floor plans, urban systems, and the very human question of how spaces make people feel. Turns out, that's just UX with better ventilation.

With a B.Sc. and M.Arch in Architecture & Urban Planning, I trained myself to think in systems, design at scale, and obsess over structure. Making the leap to digital products wasn't a detour — it was the logical next floor.


Having made the full switch to UX/UI, I specialise in research-led design and design systems — the infrastructure that makes beautiful products actually work.

When I'm not designing, I'm usually making something with my hands — painting, digital illustrating, or glazing a half-finished ceramic pot that looked easier in my head.

COLLABORATIVE WORK

Architecture taught me that no building is designed alone — and no product should be either. I work closely with clients, developers, and teammates because the best ideas rarely survive a solo echo chamber.

GROWTH MINDSET

I switched from architecture to UX — so clearly I'm comfortable with being a beginner. I treat every critique, failed prototype, and awkward user interview as data. Staying curious beats staying comfortable, every time.

PASSION

I make things with my hands outside of work — clay, paint, digital illustration. It's not just a hobby; it's how I stay in touch with what it feels like to care deeply about making something well. That feeling is what I bring to every project.
