Hi, I'm Sadia Huda

A UX Strategist and Designer based in New Jersey. I have been passionate about design for as long as I can remember. Adding technology to it is just a cherry on top. I'm also an enthusiastic traveler. If you can't reach me, I am most likely traveling to explore new cultures and live life. One size fits all doesn't always work in inclusive design. Therefore, I work closely with my clients to ensure their products reach all users. 


My journey has been driven by a deep commitment to truly understanding and effectively addressing the complex needs of my clients and their products. I have a track record of successfully managing intricate projects, identifying users' desires and necessities, and pinpointing customer challenges accurately. This unique blend of strategic foresight and design insight positions me as a distinguished figure in the UX community, where I continue to push the boundaries and explore new possibilities.
