May 1, 2024 - May 1, 2024
At Anylyze, I worked on improving the look and feel of a mobile analytics app, mainly focusing on making complex data easier for people to understand. I spent a lot of time talking with different teams, figuring out what the product really needed, and turning those ideas into clear, practical designs. I refined user flows, adjusted visual elements, and made sure the experience felt intuitive from start to finish. I also built a full design system from scratch to keep everything consistent and make life easier for the developers. On top of that, I ran design sprints, sketched early concepts, created wireframes and polished Figma prototypes, and tested my designs with users to make sure everything made sense.

    Gloria și fularul infinit began with a quiet self-portrait of me knitting, which sparked my friend’s and author’s memory of her first school knitting project. From that moment, the story grew into a heartwarming tale, brought to life with vibrant, expressive watercolor illustrations that celebrate childhood, imagination, creativity, and the quiet, magical joy of making things by hand, stitch by stitch.
