NarmeenAlhyari

I'm a UX designer who turns research into clear, usable products. My 14 years in 3D animation, VFX and immersive VR mean I don't just design how things work, but how they look and feel too. Based in Amman.

UX design

Research-led interfaces for mobile and immersive products, from user flows and wireframes to tested prototypes.

Art direction

Visual direction for 3D, motion and VFX work, shaped by six years inside animation and post-production studios.
