About me
Saira Khan
Product Designer · Istanbul, Turkey
26-year-old designer based in Istanbul, with 3 years of experience across marketing and design in different domains — from websites and landing pages to complex web applications. I care most about the value I'm adding with whatever I take on, not just how it looks.
How I Work
Start with the problem
I don't jump straight into Figma. I spend time understanding the actual problem — talking to users, mapping flows, and making sure I'm solving the right thing.
Think in systems
Good design scales. I build with components and patterns in mind from the start, so handoff is clean and future changes don't break things.
Iterate fast, decide early
I'd rather put something rough in front of real users early than spend weeks perfecting a direction that turns out to be wrong.
Stay close to the build
I work closely with engineers throughout — not just at handoff. That means fewer surprises and better outcomes for the final product.

Experience
- SHIELD — real-time trading risk platform (0→1): led E2E design from research to launch and built the component library and design system from scratch.
- FLARE — live trading platform, 15+ data-heavy modules: built a reusable pattern library adopted across every module as it scaled.
Interests
Content Creation
I share what I learn and the occasional design rant on my Instagram blog, @ux.syra.
Traveling
Recently went on my first solo trip. For me travel is about meeting people and constantly being reminded how much there is to learn.
Wellness & Movement
Running, Pilates, and climbing keep me grounded. I completed a 6-month Reformer Pilates instructor course.
Animals
I'm helping my sister digitize her animal rescue organization so it can reach more people and support more adoptions.
