How can you describe your current role? What’s your responsibility area?
As a UX/UI consultant, I am responsible for creating innovative and user-centered design solutions that meet the needs of our clients and their users. I handle everything from user research and requirements gathering to the development of prototypes and the final graphic design. My responsibility extends to ensuring that our solutions are strategically aligned with the client’s business goals, which requires a balance between innovative design and business strategic insight. What I value most about being a consultant is the opportunity to get into different industries and companies. This gives me the chance to quickly learn new methods and strategies, which challenges me to adapt and grow professionally. Every assignment is a new lesson, which makes my career path both dynamic and enriching.

My ambition for the future is to continue growing in UX/UI design, with a particular focus on strengthening the connection between design and business strategy. I aim to get to a position where I can influence decision-making at higher levels within organizations, to further drive the business value that well-designed user experiences can deliver. By continuously challenging myself and developing my ability to create value through design, I hope to take my career to new heights and contribute to the progress of the industry.
In addition to my career as a consultant, I also run my own company, Digital Q, on the side of my consulting work. Not only is this company a platform for me to apply my skills and passions in new ways, but it also represents a deeper dream of one day being able to build and scale something of my own that I can fully live on. Leading Digital Q gives me valuable experience in entrepreneurship and business development, skills that I see as crucial to my professional development.
