Position: UI/UX Designer
Category: Design
English level: intermediate
Years of experience: 1.5


Hello! 
I'm Susan, and I'm a Junior UI/UX designer. My way in design began with the Basic Design course at Hillel School a year and a half ago. And I want to tell you about the experience I got during this time.

While studying Basic Design, I implemented the project "A Food Delivery App" to improve the search for navigation and expand the category of "Menu for the Company" with the possibility of making a copayment. During the research, I independently mastered the Jobs-to-Be-Done method and made sure that it revealed all of the user's pain points in as much detail as possible.

In the UI/UX course, I got the opportunity to cooperate with a real customer. My project was the Lemon Bar online store for a pastry chef. The project's main goal was to increase personal brand loyalty while also saving time for the user and the cook by reducing messenger discussions and providing answers to frequently asked questions on the site. I communicated with the client at each stage of the work: the brief, research, reference, wireframing, design, reflection, and presentation. In the end, I created a minimalist, convenient, and home-based online store that is user-oriented. With the help of Figma's functionality, I redesigned the logo, created styles, and a UI kit, and did prototyping. The work was highly appreciated by my experienced teacher and received good feedback from the customer.

After my studies, my design teacher invited me to join his real project as an assistant, where I helped edit components and auto layouts in Figma. Also, I helped to design a presentation of a mobile application for his customer.

I practice designing commercial landing pages and unusual creative projects in the direction of art and fashion. I understand trends, ranging from popular brutalism to minimalism in infographics. I like to experiment and play with antidesign, but in contrast, I can do more serious design in such areas as real estate and medicine.

I am currently taking a Webflow course on the creative practice platform and working with a mentor who helps fill in my gaps. To gain commercial experience, I am trying to go to Upwork. 

I am familiar with Figma and its tools: variants, components, auto layout, grids, animation, and prototypes. Also, I have some basic knowledge of Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and After Effects.
I want to be a part of a team of enthusiastic people who intend to develop appealing, practical, and useful apps and websites. To improve as a designer, I am ready to study and put in as much effort as is necessary.
