Hi, I'm Zahra Behnambakhsh

Product Designer who designs — and ships.

Data-driven product design, from research to launch: fintech, BNPL and AI products shaped by user insight and metrics — and apps I build end-to-end with AI tools, like Goldoon, live at mygoldoon.ir.

About me

Data-driven Product Designer with 3 years of hands-on experience designing digital products end to end — turning research, analytics and user insight into product decisions across BNPL, fintech, AI, e-learning and advertising.

I create user-centered solutions through research, wireframing and interface design, with a focus on usability, engagement and overall product effectiveness.

I vibe code and build with AI tools like Cursor, Lovable, Figma Make and Claude Code. I bring nearly 9 years in graphic and brand design, and I'm pursuing an MBA to move toward product management.
