Hi, I’m Tamar πŸ‘‹

I am a strong believer in user centric, systems-first design and thrive in environments where doing the right thing is prioritized over simply getting things done.

Throughout my career, I've developed a wide range of skills in user research, interaction design, and user testing, which has helped me to create digital products that are both functional and visually appealing. I firmly believe that a successful design should not only meet the needs of the user but also exceed their expectations.

When I am not designing, you can find me working on my garden and hanging out with my husband, Emin, and my dog, Tugboat.
