About Me

UX Designer, Artist, Gamer, and Parent

My name is Zohra, and I was born in Denmark and spent many of my formative years in Denmark, French Guiana, and later, in the USA. I grew up travelling extensively in Northern Europe, the United States, and Northern Africa. I played the Violin at a professional level in high school and through college while also serving as the captain of my roller hockey team in high school.

I graduated from the Georgia Institute of Technology with a Bachelors of Science in Computational Media. Since graduation in December 2013, I’ve enjoyed building my career in User Experience Design, working on a multitude of accounts and in a variety of fields. I am an avid gamer and even enjoyed live-streaming on Twitch for several years where I ended up making some amazing friends.

I am married to my wonderful husband, Michael, and together we are raising their three tiny humans. In 2024, I chose to take some time off to spend time with my family and kids while they are still so young. It was a refreshing break and changed my perspective on life, work, and relationships.
