Available to hire
Hi there! I’m Alina, a UX designer and creative problem-solver with a background in design, storytelling, and visual communication. I’m a curious and thoughtful designer who loves digging into the “why” behind problems to create meaningful, user-focused solutions. I enjoy working closely with others, value clear and consistent design, and am always looking for ways to learn, improve, and grow.
I bring a human-centered approach to all my design work, collaborating effectively across teams and ensuring smooth project handoffs. My passion lies in creating intuitive digital experiences and refining design systems to promote consistency and ease of use.
