Hi, I'm Azzim AinaUI/UX Designer &CybersecurityAnalyst
Creating beautiful digital experiences while ensuring they remain secure. The perfect blend of creativity and technical security expertise.
About Me
I bridge the gap between beautiful design and robust security, bringing a unique perspective to digital products.
My Dual Expertise
As both a UI/UX Designer and Cybersecurity Analyst, I bring a rare combination of skills to the table. My journey began in design, creating intuitive and engaging user experiences that delight customers and drive business goals.
Over time, I developed a passion for cybersecurity, recognizing that the best digital products are not only beautiful and functional but also secure. This dual perspective allows me to create designs that consider security from the ground up, rather than as an afterthought.
Today, I help organizations build digital products that users love to use and attackers find difficult to exploit. This unique combination has proven valuable in an era where both user experience and security are paramount concerns.
My UI/UX Design Process (Tool - Figma)
1. Understand the Problem
- Review the PRD and business goals
- Identify target users and their pain points
- Ask clarifying questions to align with stakeholders
2. Research & User Insights
- Conduct user interviews or define personas (if data isn’t available)
- Map user journeys or key flows
- Identify usability gaps or opportunities
3. Information Architecture
- Create sitemaps and user flows
- Define navigation structure and page hierarchy
4. Wireframing
- Build low-fidelity wireframes in Figma
- Focus on layout, user flow, and core functionality
- Share for early feedback and iteration
5. High-Fidelity UI Design
- Apply brand guidelines, typography, color, and spacing
- Design responsive layouts for multiple screen sizes
- Ensure accessibility (contrast, tap targets, etc.)
6. Prototyping
- Create interactive flows to simulate real user interaction
- Test internally or with users (if time allows)
7. Developer Handoff
- Use Figma’s inspect & dev mode for handoff
- Provide documentation: component specs, states, edge cases
- Collaborate with developers during implementation
