About Me

Khaled Almomani

I am a design researcher, educator, and practitioner specializing in human-centered design, UX/UI methodology, and experience design. My work sits at the intersection of design thinking, education, and emerging technologies — exploring how interdisciplinary approaches can create more meaningful and effective human experiences.

With a PhD in Technical Aesthetics & Design from Ural Federal University, my research focuses on developing human-centered design models for educational environments. I believe that design is not just a creative act but a systematic methodology that can be applied across disciplines — from digital products to physical spaces to organizational systems.

Currently, I serve as a Senior Lecturer at UrFU, where I teach courses in design methodology, visual communication, and UX/UI design. Beyond academia, I bring extensive professional experience in AI-driven design, strategic consulting, and creative direction.

Design Philosophy

I believe human-centered design is not just a methodology but a mindset — one that places empathy, research, and iterative thinking at the foundation of every creative decision. In education, this means designing learning experiences that are as thoughtful and user-centered as the best digital products. In practice, it means always starting with people.
