I'm Negar, I design & build.

  • UI/UX Design
  • Web Design
  • Frontend Development

I design clear interfaces and interactive web experiences — and build them myself. My work connects UI/UX thinking, visual systems and interaction design with front-end implementation, using AI-assisted tools where they make the work sharper.

Venture Compass

Find your path — a navigation system for the startup ecosystem

A Persian-language platform that connects startups with investors, expertise, education and community, so founders always know which way the next step is. The whole experience is organised around a compass: four bearings — N · Fundraising, E · Services, S · Academy, W · Community — act as the primary navigation, with dedicated startup and investor tracks and the Iranian AI Club as its community layer. A 3D compass hero, directional section indexing and a restrained navy-and-gold system carry the metaphor from the first screen to the last.

Amirali Majidi

Personal brand & portfolio website for a business development strategist

A website for a strategist working across innovation, startups and ecosystem growth. The challenge was turning a many-layered career — expertise, AI, career history, education, work, articles and projects — into one clear, navigable story. The hero places the portrait at the centre of an orbit of focus areas, a dark warm palette with editorial serif accents sets a confident tone, and the layout was carried through to a dedicated 390px mobile build.

Front-End Development (React) · Personal Project

Negar Archive

A personal site built with React, laid out as a collage of the things I keep coming back to — comfort movies, songs, books, and small everyday objects. Designed and built end to end, it's a space to design purely for myself, outside client constraints.

O2Life — dark interface with a glowing green breathing circle, a smoking-cessation concept app
UI/UX Design · Interaction Design

O2Life — Quit Smoking Companion

A concept app that supports people quitting smoking, designed around motion that carries meaning rather than decoration. A glowing circle expands and contracts to pace slow breathing, and a cigarette shortens as the page is scrolled, visualizing what the body recovers minute by minute after the last cigarette.

Pink Venom AI Hub — mobile app screens for an AI tools hub with a pink and black identity
UI/UX Design · AI Product Concept

Pink Venom AI Hub

A concept hub for AI tools — agents, chat, model settings, automation, and billing — built around a deliberate pink-and-black identity. The palette is a metaphor: AI can look striking and inviting, like a scorpion's color, but once it's let in there's no undoing its effect. The full interface was designed and structured across dashboard, chat, and onboarding screens, in Persian.

UI/UX Explorations

A set of interface explorations designed in Figma — screens, flows, and micro-interactions worked through at the design stage, not yet built in code.

What I Work On

Interfaces built with attention to structure, hierarchy, and how they'll actually be used.

Sample UI screens from a mobile app interface design

UX & UI Design

Interfaces built from wireframe to detailed Figma files — with attention to hierarchy, spacing, and states, ready to hand off to a dev team.

AI-Assisted Development

I use AI tools to speed up front-end implementation and exploration. The structure, decisions, and design direction stay mine.

Interactive Web Builds

Responsive websites built with Framer or HTML/CSS/JS, with animation and interaction used only where it adds meaning.

Visual & Brand Design

Visual identities and digital assets built around a clear palette, typography system, and consistent component language.

UX Research & Structure

Competitive analysis, information architecture, and persona work used to shape structure before visual design begins.

✦ About Me

Where creativity meets precision.

I'm Negar Zahed, 22, a UI/UX & Interaction Designer who believes that the best design is invisible — it simply works. With a background in Graphic Design (diploma), Networking (associate degree), and Computer Science (bachelor's), I bring a technical-creative perspective to every project. I discovered my interest in design not in a classroom, but in the space between an idea and its execution. Today I combine Figma, Framer, WordPress, and AI-assisted development to build digital products that are both considered and usable. I also spent 2 years teaching English and hold a TTC certificate, which shaped how I explain and structure ideas clearly. That same clarity drives how I design.

✦ AI & Professional Development

AI supports the craft. It doesn't replace it.

I study AI tools properly so I can use them responsibly — to research faster, prototype more directions and ship cleaner front-end, while the design decisions stay mine.

AI in my workflow

Where it fits in a typical project:

  1. Research & discovery

    Mapping a domain, competitors and user questions before structure is decided.

  2. Content structuring

    Turning raw material into information architecture, page outlines and clear copy.

  3. AI-assisted design & prototyping

    Exploring more layout and interaction directions early, then refining one by hand.

  4. AI-assisted front-end development

    Building, debugging and reviewing code faster — with every line checked and understood.

  5. Workflow optimization

    Automating repetitive steps so more time goes into creative problem solving.

▲ Process

How a Project Moves Forward

The steps below adapt to each project — not every project needs the same depth of research or testing.

  1. Understand

    Clarifying the problem, the audience, and the constraints before any screen gets designed.

  2. Structure

    Organizing content and user flows so the interface has a clear shape before it has a visual style.

  3. Design

    Exploring directions, then refining one into wireframes and a high-fidelity Figma prototype.

  4. Refine & Deliver

    Polishing visual details and interaction states, then preparing files or code for handoff.

Reach out directly by phone or email — both are one tap away.

UI/UX design, web design, interaction design, Figma prototyping, and building responsive interfaces with HTML/CSS/JS, React, and Framer.

No — I use AI the way designers use any tool, to speed up exploration and front-end implementation. The design decisions and direction are mine.

Figma, Framer, HTML/CSS/JS, React, WordPress, and various AI tools for productivity and code assistance.

Yes. I'm also open to scholarship opportunities in Interaction Design abroad, and available for freelance or collaborative projects in the meantime.

Timelines depend on scope — a simple landing page takes less time than a full product design that includes research and prototyping. I communicate progress clearly throughout.

✦ What I Value

How I Approach Design

A few things that shape how I work.

Clarity over decoration

An interface should be understandable before it's impressive. I look for the simplest structure that still feels considered.

Design and code, together

Knowing how something gets built changes how I design it. Working across Figma and front-end code keeps my design decisions realistic.

Motion with a reason

Animation should explain something — a state change, a relationship, a pace — not just move for attention.

AI as a tool, not a shortcut

I use AI tools to speed up exploration and front-end implementation. The direction, the decisions, and the taste behind them stay mine.
