hello, i'm hiba!

I am a junior studying Design & Production at the University of Texas at Dallas. I am also a first-generation Indian American and the eldest daughter of four. Growing up, I didn't know what I wanted to be, although I always knew what I represented and who I was; leader, sister, friend, daughter, and an independent Muslim woman. It was in my senior year of high school when I noticed myself enjoying talking to people and designing a yearbook that spoke to them. I appreciated hearing stories and experiences from different backgrounds and being able to feel things that I had never been through myself. I believe that conversations that begin with empathy can solve even the world's hardest problems, and that is why I am a UX Designer today.
