After graduating Fine Art I turned to the digital world, where I discovered my passion for design and its various aspects. I have successfully graduated Soft Uni Creative with diplomas for Creative Specialist and UI and UX Designer. After that I started several freelance projects.

I seek challenges that allow the exploration of design strategies that strive for perfection and to create innovative, beautiful and usable digital products.

Constantly looking to learn new things everyday.

SOME SKILLS

01

Visual Design

Due to my background in Fine Arts and love for design, I have strong appreciation for the visual representation of design work. Throughout my experience in SoftUni Creative, I developed advanced level skills in Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe XD and  Figma, which also helps me create a functional and aesthetic design.

02

Research

Because of my curiousity and critical thinking, one of my favorite stages of any project, whether I'm designing or painting, is to research and create strategy. It is really interesting for me to gather information, analyze and interpret it in order to solve a problem and bring a solution.

03

Empathy

For as long as I can remember, it has always been easy for me to put myself in the place of others, experience the world through their eyes and to understand their point of view. This quality helps me to provide deeper insights into designing products. At the heart of all creative processes lies empathy.

04

Communication

I have always had an interest in psychology, respectively the behavior of people and their interaction. For me, communication with people is like a window to other worlds, which allows me to look at and analyze them. In my opinion, this quality is extremely useful in working as a designer, as well as any other field.

05

Teamwork

Empathy and the good communication skills make me a good team player. Teamwork brings people together and motivates them to rely on one another to get things done.

“Great things in business are never done by one person. They’re done by a team of people.” – Steve Jobs
