Welcome to my portfolio

Intro

Hello! I am Deba. A Designer with nearly a decade of experience creating intuitive, meaningful, and visually engaging digital experiences. Passionate about interaction design, visual systems, and turning complex ideas into clear human-centered communication.

Work

My work is at the intersectionality of Education, Marketing, Illustration and Concept Art.

01

Instructional Design

E-Learning · Training · LMS

E-learning modules, training programs and UX-driven learning solutions built for corporate environments.

Hydraulics Basics

Hapag-Lloyd · Wind Turbine Systems Training

The Problem

Technicians needed foundational knowledge of hydraulic systems inside wind turbines — specifically three core components: Valve, Accumulator, and Filter. Hydraulic fluid behavior is dynamic and invisible in static diagrams, and the circuit symbols were completely unfamiliar to new learners.

UX Design Decisions

Screenshot 1 · 16:9 — Bladder Accumulator step-by-step reveal
<img src="images/hydraulics-01.png" />

Step-by-step progressive reveal — each click fills the accumulator with fluid incrementally

Screenshot 2 · 16:9 — Valve Actuation interactive symbol cards
<img src="images/hydraulics-02.png" />

Circuit symbols taught as clickable cards — active discovery instead of passive memorisation

Screenshot 3 · 16:9 — Bladder Accumulator diagram with hotspots

Clean cross-section with memory bubble hotspots — building a mental model before the abstract circuit

Screenshot 4 · 16:9 — Full circuit with all learned symbols highlighted
<img src="images/hydraulics-04.png" />

Cumulative circuit — all learned symbols placed inside a real-world system diagram

UX Flow

Enter Module ↓ Concept Introduction (what is this component?) ↓ Video: fluid in motion + circuit diagram animates in sync ↓ Symbol Guide: interactive legend of electronic symbols ↓ Mid-module Questionnaire (formative check) ↓ Repeat for all 3 components ↓ Surprise Questionnaire (retention check — unannounced) ↓ Module Complete

Outcome

Learners progressed from zero hydraulics knowledge to reading real circuit diagrams — identifying components, understanding fluid flow, and recognizing industry-standard symbols in context.
