I am Shahzad Karim, a Software Engineering student at Virtual University Pakistan, Abbottabad Campus, and a part-time UI/UX Designer.

I have a strong passion for creating beautiful and functional digital interfaces that provide excellent user experiences. Currently, I am working part-time as a UI/UX Designer at EXARTH Company, where I design web and mobile app interfaces. Alongside my studies and job, I am actively involved in live projects that allow me to apply real-world design and development skills.

I have also completed an E-Commerce course, which enhanced my understanding of online user behavior. My previous experience in customer service roles (Real Estate and Shoes Brand) has given me deep insight into user needs and pain points, helping me design more empathetic and effective solutions.

I aim to combine my UI/UX design skills with software engineering knowledge to build modern, scalable, and user-friendly digital products.
