Valentina Babayan

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Linguistics from the Russian-Armenian University, but my passion lies in visual design. Specifically, designing interfaces for applications or software. I have completed courses in UI/UX Design, which have given me a profound understanding of the importance of creating human-centered designs. I prioritize human-centered design, which puts real people at the center of the development process.

As a UI designer, my primary objective is to create user flow and task flow, which involves navigating through a product or a series of steps that users go through (such as sign-up, purchase, submission, etc.). The next step is to build the information architecture, which includes site maps, hierarchies, categorization, and navigation through the product. Once all of this is established, I create wireframes to define a product’s information architecture, layout, and navigation.

Only after these steps, I move forward to think about the design system, color hierarchy, and typography and start creating UI components like buttons, inputs, menus, dropdown lists, cards, labels, etc. After that, I use the design system to create ready-made interfaces based on the wireframes I have created.

During the design system process, I implement an atomic design approach, which simplifies the overall design process for designers and the development team.
Finally, to make the product ready for customers and testing, I create prototypes of the end product, which makes the design interactive.
