As a freelance UX/UI designer, I've accomplished creating designs that not only look great but also make things easy for people to use. I've worked on a variety of projects, from 3D visualizations, graphic elements, to development of complex websites and applications, and I've helped businesses improve how their customers interact with their digital stuff. My focus on making things user-friendly has led to successful outcomes and happy clients.

I interned at Distillery to grasp mobile app development and elevate UX/UI comprehension. This invaluable stint introduced concepts like user flows, CJMs, moodboards, style guides, and wireframes. I explored target audiences, user profiles, emotions, and crafted an app for introverts. This experience highlighted design's problem-solving essence, prioritizing user convenience.

I explored architecture and 3D visualization, completing diverse projects: exterior visualization for a tire shop, lighting fixtures for a US client (leading to collaboration), and a concrete table. Later, I transitioned to graphic and web design, creating packaging, banners, and a client's logo and website. This journey revealed my passion for web design and its role in solving business challenges.

During my time there, I learned how to collaborate effectively with developers and managers. I grasped the ins and outs of web design, including adaptive methods, style guides, grids, prototypes, and interfaces. My work spanned various kinds of websites, from basic landing pages to complex eCommerce sites. I also played a role in creating brand identities through typographic elements like banners, cards, posters, ets. I actively contributed to different team projects and even dabbled in crafting 3D models

In this timeframe, I acquired web design expertise, mastering HTML and CSS. I gained hands-on platform experience, handling diverse tasks: crafting web page designs, user-friendly interfaces, navigation, and mobile versions. I actively participated in building web templates, creating code snippets in HTML and CSS. Additionally, I contributed to designing ads: banners, logos, business cards. I enhanced my skills in Photoshop, Illustrator, CorelDRAW.
