Consumption of the service must be intuitive for the end-user and not require extra effort and extra steps.
Hi, I'm Merle, UX/UI designer.
I'm a versatile UX/UI designer with a desire to create intuitive and user-centric solutions.
I became interested in working as a designer when I started my IT studies...
Since 2020, I have been working as a freelance UX/UI designer, mainly serving digital agencies. This was preceded by 6 years at the largest e-commerce chain in the Baltics and 5 years at the web agency Altex Marketing.
Who I am
My experience as a UX/UI designer started only a few years ago, but I can finally say that I've found something that makes my eyes light up (besides the drums:)).
My strengths are my long experience and versatile skills as a graphic designer and a slightly shorter experience as a UX/UI designer.
My strength as a UX designer is my well-developed empathy. My weakness is my ability to assert or argue myself in debates.
As a UI designer, I value attention to detail, alignment, consistency, ease of use, WCGA requirements.
After completing the UX/UI training (IT training) in 2020 and 2021, I have been working as a freelance designer, focusing on UI design and WordPress website development. My main tool is Figma and I also use Adobe tools when needed.
A quote from the UX/UI training was particularly memorable.... "Beautiful things that don't work are not beautiful."
