About Me
My full name is Farosat Alamshoeva, but you can call me Fara.
Two years ago, I made the brave—😄—decision to pursue a creative career after getting a degree in International Development.
During university, I realized that I leaned more towards creative and action-oriented roles than I did to theoretical ones. I decided to learn the trade and in the span of one year, got a design mentor, earned the Google UX Certificate, mastered design tools like Figma and took on Adobe Suite, did some freelance UX work and even got commissioned by projects based at top Canadian Universities (University of Waterloo, York University).
My Background
I am originally from Tajikistan, from a mesmerizing mountainous region called Pamir. From grades 6 to grade 12, I lived and studied in Mombasa, a beautiful island in Kenya. Therefore, my admiration for mountains is constantly competing with my love for the beach; so far it's a tie…
Having lived on three different continents and with my knowledge and appreciation of cultures and languages, I easily bond with different people. This helps me clearly articulate the user needs behind my designs and inspire buy-in while being open to feedback and fostering a collaborative design process.
I am ecstatic at the prospects of working in the field that combines all my strengths and passions and I am excited for any opportunity to showcase my talents and learn from future teammates.
