it is important for me not just to “make it beautiful”, but to understand why a solution will work:
— I know how to conduct research: analysis of competitors and the visual context of the market;
— I am comfortable working with limitations: I understand technical limits;
— I know how to defend design decisions based on arguments, logic, and facts, not just “because it's trendy.”

I approach tasks consciously — make decisions taking into account real limitations and consequences. I am able to defend my decisions to stakeholders in a reasoned manner, relying on logic and business objectives, while listening to feedback and finding optimal compromises.
