About Me.
I'm Ryan Zahrae: a UI, UX and Web Designer.
Hi there! My name is Ryan Zahrae, and I'm a graduate from the University of California, Irvine with a degree in Computer Informatics. I specialized in Human-Computer Interaction and fell in love with UI and UX design, as well as the study of what makes software intuitive. My roles in Customer Service, Technical Support and Web Design serve to strengthen my understanding of how to create products that are both appealing and user-friendly.
My Tools.
Here's what I'm good at.
These are my areas of expertise.
Web Development
My experience with multiple frameworks ensure I can take projects from idea to reality, choosing the tool that best fits the job.
Wordpress Management
From theme development and plugin management to full site creations, I have experience building WordPress sites across multiple industries.
Responsive Design
My knowledge in Human-Computer Interaction helps me develop products that focus on the user's environment, whether they be on a phone, a tablet, a desktop - or even a smart refrigerator. ;)
Email Development
From the most basic HTML email template to advanced layouts in MJML, I have experience creating various marketing and internal email designs.
Marketing & SEO
Utilizing tools like Structured Schema Data, Google Search Console/Analytics and ActiveCampaign, finding ways to harness prospective traffic goes hand in hand with good UX.
UX/UI Design
My educational and development backgrounds help me stay human-first in my design philosophy, whether it be working with mockups in Adobe XD or testing already-built platforms.
