Portrait of Dina Da

Stay curious.
Design with care.

Since 2020, I’ve been creating thoughtful digital experiences across consumer products, e-commerce, and AI. I work closely with founders and cross-functional teams to turn user insights into intuitive interactions—from early ideas to launched products.

Curiosity has always been the thread connecting everything I love.

It started with drawing — as a kid, I loved sketching the characters on tea tins at home, and before long, classmates were asking for one of my own.

That same curiosity led me to study Multiplatform Journalism, where I learned to tell stories, understand people, and communicate ideas clearly.

After graduating, I worked in brand and content design, shaping how products and stories showed up visually — and found myself asking not just how something looked, but how people actually experienced it.

That question is what pulled me toward product design, and later, a Master's in Interactive Design at Northeastern University.

Somewhere along the way, that curiosity found its home in product design.

My journey of curiosity — a timeline from childhood drawing through journalism, design, a master's in Interactive Design, and turning curiosity into user insight.

How I Design

Research before assumptions.
Collaboration over perfection.
Simplicity over complexity.
Always learning.
Designing for people first.
