About me

In life, I follow some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.

I'm a UX/UI Designer with a background in art education and have a MA in marketing. I have experience in analyzing target groups and identifying the best touchpoints to increase sales.

By combining my knowledge of marketing, experience in sales, and sense of art, I want to design user-friendly UX products with an emphasis on easier and more intuitive use.

My key skills include:
- Research (Competitor Analysis, User Interviews, Data Analysis)
- User Flows
- Prototyping, Wireframing
- Figma, CSS (basic)

I’m looking for part or full-time roles. Also open for freelance, remote work.

My background

Boston

Lived in Boston, US for one year.

Health insurance company

Experience in analysing target groups.

 

I started my career as a sales consultant at a health insurance company, which allowed me to gain a great deal of experience analyzing target groups, aligning insights with company goals, and thus increasing sales numbers. Up until that point, I held a variety of jobs as a student from gallery guide to bank accountant. Most of all, I enjoyed the creative and managerial role in organizing the festival, which aims to include children with special needs in society. I’ve learned a lot about accessibility and related problems.

Little did I know that my job experiences would spark my passion for understanding user problems, creative problem solving, and building empathy with users. After moving to Boston, USA for a year in 2020, where I have the opportunity to meet people with UX expertise I realized that the best way to employ my passion for user experience would be by becoming a UX Designer. In 2020 I took the leap and started the UX Design course at CareerFoundry. I also took an in-depth UI course to improve my UI design and graphic design skills.

What I do when I'm not working

 

If you can't find me at my computer, I'm either at the art gallery, reading a book, playing with kids or just enjoying a coffee at my favorite specialty coffee shop.
