Currently seeking creative spaces where curiosity drives the work, with care for craft, inclusion, and designing products that matter.
Sayya here. Thank you for stopping by.
A little about myself.
Born in Tajikistan and shaped by experiences across continents, I developed a keen eye for observing how systems work and how people adapt when they don't. Moving between different countries taught me to notice details: how infrastructure shapes behavior, how design (or its absence) affects daily life, and how people navigate their environments. This foundation of observation and adaptive thinking naturally led me to design, where I combine analytical precision with genuine curiosity about human interaction.
I believe in creating solutions that don't just solve problems but reveal new possibilities for connection and growth.
When I'm not designing, you'll find me on the trails with Mantu (my Portuguese Water Dog), training for my next race, working on a sewing project, home renovation, or baking something experimental.
