About me
Hey there! Thanks for visiting my design portfolio.
I am Usayed, a designer with a wide spectrum of experience in UX, HCI, Industrial and Product Design.
I'm currently a Principal UX Designer at Walmart and feel grateful for the opportunity to positively impact millions of lives around the world.
My cultural roots are from Bangladesh and I am now a U.S. citizen residing in Austin, TX. I've got a Master's degree in Human Computer Interaction and a Bachelor's degree in Industrial Design.
I love hiking, photography, playing guitars and spending quality time with my family and friends.
