Hello!

I'm Leyla Tawfik, a cross-disciplinary problem-solver, currently based between Switzerland and Qatar. Since 2017, I have been developing an ed-tech project called Ethafa and have previously worked at Arduino, Martel Innovate, Interaction Design Lab SUPSI, Fablab SUPSI. I am currently managing a digital fabrication lab in Scale7 (Doha) whilst working on developing Ethafa. As a multi-disciplinary designer, I specialize in creating physical interactive experiences and ensuring the timely delivery of projects through the use of Agile methodologies. As I enjoy being active in the design community, I have previously been co-chair of the education summit, and lead the creation of the IxD22 conference program. In 2023 I was part of the team of curators and MCing during IxD23 conference. I am passionate about designing ludic experiences and organising workshops and training for children and adults, specifically in regards to electronics, 3D printing and laser cutting. I have also been a guest speaker at several conferences on technology inclusivity and interaction design.
