Tetiana K.

UI/UX Designer. Figma Certified. 16 Years of Experience. Instructional Designer. I design digital products that people actually want to use - and I've been doing it since 2009. With a Figma certification, a MicroMasters in Instructional Design from the University of Maryland, and deep expertise in the full Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign), I bring both design craft and strategic thinking to every project. My academic background - a PhD in Engineering Sciences and a position as Associate Professor - means I think systematically about how people learn, navigate, and interact with interfaces. 🎨 WHAT I DESIGN 📱 Mobile UI/UX - native iOS and Android apps, following Human Interface Guidelines and Material Design principles; app icons, splash screens, and App Store/Google Play assets 🖥️ Web UI/UX - responsive websites, SaaS interfaces, landing pages, and design systems built for real implementation ✏️ Brand & Visual Identity - logo design, brand books, style guides, and print materials that hold together across every touchpoint 🎓 Instructional & Educational Design - digital courses, e-learning interfaces, training materials, and interactive learning experiences grounded in proven learning theory (LDT MicroMasters, University of Maryland) ⚙️ HOW I WORK I use Figma as my primary design environment - prototyping, component libraries, auto-layout, and handoff-ready specs. For visual production, I work across the full Adobe suite. I have working knowledge of HTML & CSS and have built and maintained 4 WordPress sites of my own - so I understand how designs live in the real world, not just in Figma. This makes collaboration with developers smoother and handoff specs more accurate. I actively use AI tools - including ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini - to accelerate research, ideation, and content workflows. This means faster turnaround and sharper results without cutting corners on quality. I've worked with startups, corporate clients, SaaS teams, and academic institutions. Whether you're launching a new product or untangling an existing one, I adapt quickly and deliver designs that are clean, considered, and built to last. 🤝 Let's work together if you need a designer who combines visual craft with real UX thinking -and who can handle complex, multi-layered projects from strategy to pixel-perfect delivery.
