Howdy!

I’m Laiba.

/lie-bah/ /لائبہ/

I'm passionate about making things work for those who need them most. I champion collaboration, automate everyday workflows, & empower teams to deliver with purpose & clarity. My interest in mobility/automotive design & fintech makes me passionate about solving multi-faceted problems in high-impact, high-regulation spaces.

Design is more than a final product — it's a process rooted in community, curiosity, & optimism. Every decision is intentional. Every voice matters.

Let's create a future that works — for everyone.

Current Adventures

Nose in a book, always

I recently graduated as valedictorian with my BFA in Communication Design @UNT (Go Mean Green!).

I'm studying how data storage affects neural information processing, researching new ways XR/VR can be utilized to exchange information. Reach out to learn more!

Working hard (hardly feels like working)

Busy at Aperio Insights, I'm supporting research projects for billion-dollar clients & Fortune 500 organizations, informing purchase decisions & design workshops. I'm also learning about AI conversation design to create QA protocols & establish trust with GenAI users.

I'm currently looking for new work opportunities. Shoot me a message if you think we'd be a good fit!

Endless adventures

I love cruising on my motorcycle, working on my car, & taking photographs. Explore my favorite photos from my adventures below on Unsplash.

Laiba is a very talented designer with a great attitude, & those things don’t always coincide with artists. She seemed advanced beyond many of her peers in her professional attitude, & while she only worked part-time, she treated the job as a professional.

In short, if you asked me “Would you rehire Laiba?,” I’d give an emphatic yes.
