I value projects where design is seen as more than just a wrapper — where structure, clarity, and beauty all serve the user. Whether it's a dog breeder’s elegant landing page or a complex B2B product site, I aim to turn every project into something thoughtful and well-crafted. I’m currently open to remote freelance work and collaborations with studios or teams that appreciate aesthetics, care about the details, and trust designers with real creative input.
Summary: I’m a UX/UI designer with 5+ years of experience creating intuitive, structured, and emotionally engaging digital interfaces — from elegant one-pagers to complex visual storytelling, while my current focus lies in crafting clean, logical user flows and thoughtful visual hierarchies. I work confidently with tools like Figma, Tilda, Photoshop, Illustrator and AI-powered image generators to create unique assets and dynamic layouts.

Objective: Looking to join a remote-friendly team or studio as a Middle UX/UI Designer, where I can apply my skills in interface design, visual storytelling, and user logic to real-world products. I’m especially interested in projects that combine structure and creativity — whether it’s a sleek landing page, a content-heavy site, or a concept-driven digital experience.
I’d love to be part of a team that values clarity, concept, and detail — and supports growth through open communication and trust.

Below are a few of my strongest and most illustrative commercial projects, reflecting both the quality of execution and the results achieved.
With over 5 years of hands-on design experience, I’ve worked on a wide range of projects — from corporate multi-page websites and product landing pages to visual concepts and digital branding. My process always begins with deep research and audience insight. I specialize in clarity, structure, and atmosphere — transforming complex or technical content into clean, intuitive, and emotionally engaging user experiences. My strength lies in full-cycle design: from brief and content analysis to final visuals and client delivery. I also work with AI tools to generate unique images, illustrations, and brand elements that enhance visual identity and storytelling.
