Hey! That’s me.

I’m Syarah, a UX Designer based in Amsterdam, with a passion for understanding the people behind the problem and turning complex challenges into thoughtful, intuitive solutions.

My approach is rooted in empathy and curiosity, with a focus on uncovering meaningful insights. I strive to create solutions that are not only effective, but also bring people’s needs to life and genuinely make their experience a little easier.

Outside of design, you’ll find me with my sketchbook, working on my next illustration, unwinding with a cozy game on the Switch, or hunting down a new food spot to add to my ever-growing list of favourites. I’m also a puzzle fan, whether that’s working on a 1,000-piece puzzle or tackling another Sudoku and trying to move up another level.
