ABOUT

Ranagül

Hey there, I'm Rana! A 21-year-old junior UX/UI designer with an eye for detail and a heart full of curiosity. Somewhere between wireframes and whitespace, I’m busy turning complex ideas into clear, user-friendly journeys. Because I believe that because a thoughtful design is never just about how it looks, but how it works. I'm highly solution-oriented and always aim to strike the right balance between what the business wants and what the user truly needs. Great design, after all, lives where goals and empathy meet.

Since I can remember, I've been passionate about music, traveling, and getting lost in a good book (or three). Growing up in a mixed culture and speaking three languages fluently has given me a natural ability to see the world through different lenses, which definitely comes in handy when designing for diverse users.

I thrive on social energy, love good conversations, and always try to bring positive vibes to every project (gravity has zero chance of pulling my smile down). Let’s create things that make people feel seen, heard, and maybe even smile too.

My Approach

I work with the Double Diamond model, which helps me structure my design process step by step, without being tied to rigid, waterfall-like methods. It allows for constant iteration and improvement, something I naturally thrive in.

My strength lies in the development phase, where I enjoy diving into complex challenges and finding creative, effective solutions. For me, solving design problems feels a lot like solving a puzzle and I genuinely love the process.
