A bit about me

I'm currently a first-year Master of Information student specializing in User Experience Design at the University of Toronto. I come from a social science background with an emphasis on diversity, inclusion, technology, and equity.

I like to solve complex problems with a data-driven mindset, an empathetic approach, and an open mind. My goal as a designer is to transform lives through impactful design.

Testimonial

"Amaar is a great team player. He is reliable, hard-working, and cares about doing a good job. He is collaborative and open to ideas and feedback - while not ignoring his own intuition. He is up to the challenge: He is a keen learner and will take the harder path when it helps him grow"

- Janna Cameron, Experience Research Manager @ McAfee

A better designer...

I want to be a better designer than yesterday and want to help others do the same. In order to do so, I launched a YouTube channel that focuses on design challenges, design education, and design reviews.

In my spare time...

I love to travel and explore art museums. I am fascinated by sculptures and like to learn about their historical context. You can also catch me walking around Toronto with a cup of coffee!
