OVERVIEW

About Me

Hi there! My name is Mustafa, and I'm currently a User Experience Designer at Xerox. I work on Xerox's Workplace Cloud, where I unify the design and user experience across various platforms, including desktops, mobiles, and 5" inch printer screens.
I've been fascinated with user experience design for a long time and have diligently followed patterns and practices so that I can best understand solutions. My design philosophy revolves around psychology and finding the perfect balance between user needs and business goals.

JOURNEY

Research and reading

For the next two years, I started researching a lot about the experience design career path. I reached out to internal designers at my company at the time, read books outlining the principles, and familiarizing myself with the software.
