Hey there, I'm Safowan
I specialize in UX Design and photography. Over the years I’ve designed for non-profits, startups, and personal projects—ranging from social media platforms to fundraising funnels. I specialize in simplifying complex ideas through clean visuals, accessible interfaces, and purposeful design.
I believe great design is meaningful, inclusive, and intentional—and I’m always seeking opportunities where my work can have a lasting impact.
When I’m not prototyping or refining user flows, I’m behind a camera lens, capturing the beautiful nature & wildlife of New York State.
