About Me
I'm Zainab Shujat, a student developer who cares about why something exists, not just how it looks.
I build web applications with a focus on clarity and usability. Finance tools designed to reduce anxiety. Emotional companion apps. Full-stack career platforms.
What connects them is an interest in understanding who the product is for and what they actually need. I think good products are clear, approachable, and don't make people feel stupid or overwhelmed.
I spend a lot of time thinking about how interfaces should behave, how information should be structured, and whether something feels intuitive or just looks nice.
Still figuring things out, but making thoughtful decisions along the way.
What I Believe
- →Technology should make people feel capable, not confused.
- →Good design is invisible—it just works.
- →Empathy is a technical skill.
- →Building small, thoughtful things beats chasing trends.
