What I'm looking for

I seek a role building user-centered digital products where I can combine design and frontend skills, work in cross-functional teams, and improve accessibility and usability while growing toward product or technical design leadership.

I am a UX/UI designer with a strong IT and software-development background, experienced in research, prototyping, interface design, accessibility improvements, and frontend implementation. I have contributed to large-scale projects—selecting technologies, designing components, implementing interfaces, and testing API endpoints—while creating brand books and validating UI functionality.

I have practical experience in document digitization, multilingual site management, and hands-on teaching of robotics to children, which strengthened my communication and project coordination skills. I combine technical fluency in HTML/CSS/JavaScript, React and Python with design tools like Figma and Canva to create accessible, user-friendly digital products.
