Making sense of complexity with empathy, insight, and logic.

I’m Tuğba Işık — a UX Designer & Strategist who bridges analytical thinking with human understanding. With an engineer’s clarity and a designer’s empathy, I turn complex systems into experiences that truly make sense.

I make complex problems

feel simple…

Not by cutting corners, but by connecting logic, empathy, and clarity. Over 15 years in UX design, strategy, and consulting have taught me this: the best digital experiences are the ones that make sense. My goal is to help teams think clearly, design purposefully, and build products that truly serve people.

What do I do?

Understandıng comlexıty

Every product has hidden layers — systems, data, constraints. My engineering background helps me navigate complexity and translate it into clarity.

Turning Insight into Strategy

I connect user behavior, business goals, and design logic to create actionable strategies that teams can build upon confidently.

Designing with Meaning

Beyond usability, I design experiences that feel natural, human, and emotionally resonant — bringing both logic and warmth into digital interactions.
