” From the chaos of war to the canvas of design, my journey has been a reminder that even in the hardest circumstances, change is possible. And even in the darkest moments, hope is the key. ”
A little about me
I’m Mohammad Fejlat, a UI/UX and product designer and just recently Software Engineer from Homs, Syria.
I grew up in a place where chaos was part of everyday life, and that shaped how I see people — fragile, yet incredibly brave. And healing from my own experiences taught me that hope isn’t just a feeling; it’s something we build, one small step at a time.
That’s why empathy became the center of my work. I listen, I understand, and I try to create spaces where people feel safe and seen.
With my background in facilitation and storytelling, I design experiences that feel simple, intuitive, and deeply human — the kind of experiences I once needed myself.
My workflow
My process is rooted in the Double Diamond framework, but I adapt it depending on the project’s needs, time, and resources — because no two projects are ever the same.
Recently, I’ve been learning trauma-informed design principles and exploring how to create digital experiences that feel safe, supportive, and empowering. This mindset is becoming an important part of how I approach research, decisions, and user journeys.
When I’m Not Designing
When I’m not designing, I’m usually somewhere quiet — reading, walking, listening to music, or learning something new just out of curiosity.
I’m a BIG NERD.I love to watch anime, read and listen to all kinds of music from all around the world because I love to learn about other cultures (and maybe travel the world someday)
I also volunteer as a facilitator with Soliya and JCI, holding space for conversations that bring people together.
Those moments remind me why I do what I do. They keep me grounded, curious, and connected to the stories that shape us all.
