Darya Kardash
UX/UI Designer
Professional summary
I’ve been working as a UX/UI designer for the past 4 years, contributing to multiple projects across various industries, including information services, finance, healthcare, logistics
and enterprise solutions. The technology stack includes Figma
as the main designing tool and some of the most popular applications (Webflow, Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator). I have
a solid background in working with huge design systems like Human Interface Guidelines and Material Design, as well
as creating them using an atomic design approach.
I have a fine sense of aesthetics, close attention to detail,
and a desire to learn and adapt new skills that contribute
to successful work on a project from start to finish. Furthermore,
I am an initiative, responsible, open-minded and fast-learning person.
