Hi! I'm Ahvi, acreativegraphic and UX/UI designer based in Massachusetts, crafting meaningful identities and experiences.

I'm an ENTJ-T with a double degree in Management and Philosophy and five years of experience in the creative field. My passion for art started from a young age when my parents had to find more conducive ways to get my energy under wraps by finding creative outlets.
I love blending creativity with functionality to solve real-world problems. I believe great design should be fun, fresh, and totally user-focused- or else what are we creating for? I’m all about bringing new, trendy ideas to the table, and I’m always excited to collaborate with others who share a passion for innovation and making the world a little more human. I also run ‘UX in the Wild,’ a weekly blog on Medium where I analyze everyday products, stores, and experiences through the lens of UX design.

Beyond the Screen...

Design is what I do, but creativity doesn’t stop at the screen. Here’s what inspires me beyond pixels and prototypes after hours.

Being a foodie

I'll try any dessert once as I continue my search for the perfect dessert spot in Massachusetts (this was banana bread at Cafe G in the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston).

Sneaker shopping and raffles
Blue and purple Nike sneakers sitting on shelf.

There’s no better feeling than unboxing a fresh pair of sneakers. Sneakers tell a story about culture and the people we care about. I love tracking down rare finds, staying up for new drops, and discovering unique designs.

Hand-curating playlists
"your hand in mine" album by Gabriel (dojang) with a Spotify code on the bottom.

I love crafting playlists that set a mood and tell a story. Find my hand-picked playlists on Spotify, @ahviannae2000.
(Scanning the code in the app to go to the album is fantastic design choice on Spotfiy's end to quickly share music.)

Getting lost in art musuems
Museum of Fine Arts staging of "Devout Men Taking the Body of Saint Stephen" by Benjamin West (1776)

I love wandering through museums, getting lost in textures, colors, and brushstrokes, and seeing how artists use different mediums to push creative boundaries.

Aw man!

While you were falling in love with my work and experience, you just missed me! Look below to see what I'm up to and where you can find me (I'm probably stuck in a Costco line...)
