EDIS

I was part of the EDIS team as a junior developer. For three years, my focus was on designing and developing engaging and intuitive user interfaces for educational simulators, which were utilized by prestigious universities and industries. It was a thrilling experience to work on projects that had a real-world impact on education and training.

 

During my tenure as a manager (last 3 years), I honed my leadership skills and managed several software projects with great success.

Testimonials

Yasaman is a design professional who is equally proficient in both UI and UX. Her in-depth understanding of user behavior and product designing made her an incredibly efficacious Lead UI/UX Designer at Coinhaven. She effectively led a team of Product Designers from different timezones and fostered a friendly and supportive environment where each designer felt empowered and responsible. Under her leadership, the Design team was able to design the Coinhaven Website, Exchange Apps (both web and mobile apps) with complex features and complicated customer journeys, and other Internal Portals in quick Sprints. Her insights into Mobile App UI/UX designs were invaluable, that contributed a lot to improvising the user journeys of the MVP App. Therefore I can easily say she is one of the best in her field, and I’d strongly recommend her for any Lead Product Designer role.

Yasaman is a detail oriented, herd-working and reliable colleague. She is capable of creating an impact with her intuitive and insightful design skills. She has demonstrated strong capabilities as an exceptionally talented designer who understands users, technology, design, and 'product'. Her product designs are clean and at the same time are manufacturable and she is highly adaptive of new environments, technologies and teams. Additionally, she is also a great leader to her team of designers always diving deep into the product requirements and enabling her teammates to build a wholistic understanding of the product. I have worked with her for a year and a half and I was impressed with her deep knowledge of all aspects of product design. She has been instrumental in delivering timely designs of multiple products from 0-1.

I know Yasaman since 2008 when she was part of our Virtual Robot Team at MRL as a researcher and software engineer. She was a valuable member of the team and was always enthusiastic about learning and experiencing new things. I was so impressed by her super brave and adventurous decision about starting a new profession in user Experience and Graphic design 2 years ago. She was always passionate about design and creating artwork since I know her and finally, she takes it seriously. I was so inspired by her decision and action. Since last year she was working with us and some of our startups as a freelancer. Her creativity can bring a new perspective and fresh idea into the team and product. Overall, Yasaman can be an incredible addition to any team especially startups because she had the same spirit.
