About

Now I'm UX/UI designer, but it took some time to realize it, after being working as an English teacher at school also being interested in design! So that, here I am to implement my design ambitions! I’m hardworking and responsible. I can accept and respond well to constructive feedback. I have competent oral and written speech, a great eye for the details and desire to improve my own skills.

UX/UI Designer

I’ve been working in a team on a main e-commerce project selling ecofriendly&cruelty free cosmetics, also with the function of checking the ingredients by scanning them and finding out the info whether they are dangerous to our bodies or not. The design process we made was like defining the main goal (impact map used), competitors analysis, target audience’s analysis (interviews and questionnaire) also finding out their goals, problems, needs, desires more detailed (user personas, empathy map, CJM), defining &designing MVP (information architecture, user flow), designing of the UI (wireframes, moodboard, UI kit, prototyping).I also worked induvidually on another project, it’s online cinema service. And at the same time I’m still participating in daily UI challenge getting ui tasks by email.

Teacher of English Language

I’ve been teaching English at school for about 3 years, but I realised, that it’s not my cup of tea and I really need to change my way. But as a teacher I had experienced in soft skills like communication skills with various types of people (I worked & communicated with pupils, students, parents, collegues), time management (when you’re a teacher, you always have fixed time, fixed dates and deadlines to do your work), creativity (teacher has to present the same things, but in various ways), the ability to work alone, either in pair or in a group and multitasking (it’s a very rare thing, when you have only one task as a teacher, usually it’s much more, than one task at the same time). So that I think, that these skills can be useful not only in school, but also in a real life and design career.
