Hey! I’m Khanim, Product Designer @Box.
Born in Azerbaijan 🐦🔥 and now based in Warsaw, Poland 🧜🏼♀️.
I design, (vibe) code and research. I enjoy using and creating simple, intuitive, and inspiring products.
When I'm not designing, I’m traveling, hosting a dinner or pretending to be a content creator.
Some of my work is protected under NDA. I’m happy to walk you through case studies privately.

Box
Product Designer II, Mobile
MAY 2025 - present
I lead design across iOS, iPad, and Android, supporting 3 engineering teams in the US and Poland. My focus is on translating complex web experiences into intuitive, accessible, and platform-native interfaces on mobile.
Designed and shipped enhancements to Box AI on mobile, including voice chat, citations, and agent switching
Co-led a design sprint to reimagine mobile navigation, transforming insights into a redesigned homepage with platform-specific UX patterns
Created exploratory mocks to help engineering assess the feasibility of unified components with variant-level flexibility across platforms. (React Native)
Partnered closely with engineering to identify and close accessibility gaps, establishing accessibility as a core requirement in both design and development processes
Box
Product Designer I, Growth
NOVEMBER 2022 - april 2025
I led end-to-end design across Adoption and eCommerce initiatives, collaborating with 8+ cross-functional teams including Product, Engineering, Marketing, Data, and Customer Success. My focus was on driving user acquisition, activation, and monetization through data-informed design.
Led design for key Box AI adoption initiatives, contributing to a 90% increase in weekly active users
Launched high-impact onboarding flows for Canvas (4x engagement increase), Box Sign, and Notes
Improved core eCommerce flows (signup, upgrade, reactivation, cancellation), driving up to 20% lift in new trials and sign-ups
Built and scaled two internal design systems: an Email Components Library used by 10+ teams, and a self-serve in-app messaging library that enabled feature teams to independently create onboarding experiences
Mapped user journeys, ran usability testing, and shaped scalable onboarding patterns to support product-led growth
