I am artistic graphic designer capable to create an attractive and dynamic UI for web, desktop or mobile applications easy to navigate and understand for technical and non-technical users. I have over 15 years of extensive experience in graphic and web design, user interface design for mobile, desktop and web-based applications, business identity development including logos, stationery, presentation and marketing materials, printed collateral, product label and packaging design, creative and technical illustration, flash and PowerPoint presentations, print advertising including magazine/newspaper ads and direct mail design, online advertising (banners, newsletters, landing pages). I developed high level detailed storyboards, mockups, and prototypes to effectively communicate interaction and design ideas. I have strong ability to present the user interface visually so information is easy to read, easy to understand and easy to find. I worked across multiple teams including design, production, marketing, editorial, business, and software engineering to create products meeting client's requirements. I developed new and adjusted existing visual/branding/interaction style guidelines and standards. I assisted teams during development with graphic possibilities and limitations. I worked with Product Management team to translate requirements into concepts and user experience design. I created interaction models, user task flows, screen designs, and UI details that promote ease of use, improving and optimizing the user experience. I developed and maintained wireframes and prototypes to communicate design and UX ideas. Participated on user testing sessions and collected users feedback during prototype presentations. Produced documentation and specifications required for design implementation. Created, maintained and upgraded User Interfaces for user-facing web sites and web tools, web images and graphics, UI elements and icons. Designed, created and maintained layouts and templates for multiple websites to meet branding standards across desktop/laptop and mobile browsers.
