My name is Tanatar, which in Kazakh means "born at sunrise." My father named me after Tanatar Kasymkulovich, a prominent businessman and city planner of Almaty.

Today, I’m focused on a field that helped me shift toward a more positive mindset — a field that taught me empathy, business strategy, and critical thinking.

I’m writing an academic research paper, mentoring junior and mid-level designers, working on meaningful projects, and helping businesses generate revenue through thoughtful, user-centered interfaces.

Currently, I’m improving my English, learning programming, and preparing to apply for a Master’s degree in design — with the goal of conducting deeper UX research and shaping the future of user experience through evidence-based work.
