Position: UI/UX Designer

English level: intermediate
Years of experience: 0.5


My UX/UI design experience started randomly in my last job as a design engineer when I was tasked with developing a configurator web interface for selecting equipment for the company's customers. At that time, I didn't know that it was called UX/UI design, but even then, I was very excited about this task. I performed a competitor analysis, created a primitive empathy map, worked out the logic, and built the user flow. Then I started prototyping and, subsequently, the UI part. The product was developed and released.

I decided to deepen my knowledge and took UX/UI design courses at Beetroot Academy. During and after the training, I developed three pet projects:

A website for a VR club. The goal was to develop a modern, simple, and visually pleasing webpage for the VR club, where users can learn about the benefits of the club, find out what games they and their friends can play, and book a game room. I practiced the basics of composition, color theory, and typography. I also created both desktop and mobile versions.

An e-commerce "Geek Shop." The goal of this project was to develop an online store for fans of movies, games, and comics. I conducted UX research, which included a competitor analysis, persona maps, empathy maps, a user flow, and a site map. After conducting UX research, I developed wireframes, a design system, and the design for both desktop and mobile versions. I also created clickable prototypes for both versions, which showed all the site's functionality and interactions between windows and objects. I used components, auto-layouts, and variable elements in the development process.

Branding for the online store. I developed a logo and brand book for the previous project.
I expect to find my first job as a UX/UI designer in a good team, where I can grow as a specialist, learn new things from senior colleagues, and develop my competencies. As a person who worked in different teams for several years, I know what it means to work in a team, the interaction within it, and focus on the client. As a person who firmly decided to change the type of activity, I understand what I want in the near future and will make every effort to achieve the goals (both mine and the company's).
