ABOUT ME

Hi, I’m Sagdiana Rakhimova (pronounced Sa-Gee-Yana), and I’m an digital designer focusing on branding, UX/UI, product, and motion graphics design.

Creativity has always been more than self-expression to me, it’s an opportunity for growth. I’ve always been the kind of person who can’t ride the subway without mentally redesigning the posters around me, constantly looking for ways to elevate the experience they provide. That same instinct carries into how I see the world: inspiration is everywhere, whether it’s the way light falls across a building or a design on social media. I find joy in transforming creative strategies into impactful experiences.
