UX/UI Designer
Elena Kuraeva
I am a UX/UI designer with 3 years of experience. I have designed 4 applications and 1 responsive website at work, focused on interacting with medical devices, as well as developed 4 personal projects, one of which achieved 1,000,000 downloads. My app development background allows me to work seamlessly with developers. I am proficient in Figma, where I create intuitive designs and UI kits using an atomic approach.
My design process is rooted in research (conducting user interviews, competitive analysis, card sorting…) and analysis (information architecture, user flows, and value propositions...) to deliver user-centered solutions.
I am based in Canada and open to relocating within the country
