Nice to meet you!
I'm Sumaiya, a product designer who aims to design simple, usable, and beautiful solutions.
MY EXPERIENCE
I started my career after graduating from the University of Toronto with a degree in Digital Enterprise Management, where I developed a specialty in merging business objectives with user needs. Early on, I helped several early-stage startups bring their vision to life by guiding them through research and design.
Since Dec 2025, I have been a Senior Product Designer at SOVRA, designing how AI-generated data becomes something suppliers can actually act on. Before that, I was with Compass Digital, where I designed for various digital dining products that have a large impact on the restaurant industry in North America. During this time, I also earned a UX certification from the Nielsen Norman Group, sharpening my research-based design practice.
MY INTERESTS
My passion for design and people go beyond the screen, and I believe it can have a positive global impact. I am always looking for opportunity to make a meaningful difference. Recently, I taught a Design Thinking camp at Code.X to students in globally marginalized communities, where I was able to provide guidance and mentorship. This further fuelled my desire to create lasting and positive change. My other design interests include education, healthcare, and social impact.
When I'm not designing, you can find me playing chess, exploring nature, or trying out a new recipe.
