Katya Boudjelloud | UX / UI DESIGNER | IMMERSIVE DESIGN ADVOCATE
About this episode

Hi, I’m Katya Boudjelloud, and welcome to UX AHEAD, a podcast about discovering what’s next in design and creating immersive experiences that feel within reach.

If you’re curious about stepping into the world of immersive design but don’t know where to start, you’re not alone—and you’re in the right place. Whether it’s crafting animated, parallax-scrolling websites, designing AR lenses and apps, or exploring the potential of VR and XR, immersive design offers endless opportunities. But here’s the good news: you don’t have to master everything to make a difference.

In this podcast, I’ll share insights and stories to help you take that leap, bridging the gap between traditional user experience design and these emerging fields. Together, we’ll explore the tools, techniques, and creative possibilities that make immersive design so exciting—and attainable.

My goal is to make this journey approachable, inspiring, and practical. So let’s reimagine what’s possible and build the skills to design experiences that truly captivate. 

Thank you for listening! And Join me as we SEEK WHAT'S NEXT for UX - TOGETHER!
