Hi, I'm Janina

a product designer passionate about creating thoughtful thinking, friendly experiences, and aesthetic visual designs.

About Me

I am Janina, currently working as a UI/UX designer. I initially studied air transportation management in university but later discovered a strong interest in art and design. Drawn to thought-driven work, I decided to pursue a master's degree in graphic design in San Francisco after graduation. Throughout my design studies, I developed skills in critical thinking, problem-solving, and visual aesthetics.

After graduating, I began working in visual design, starting with app visuals. Following research on brand design, I embarked on a journey in visual and UI design. Collaborating with UX designers sparked my interest in product design and strategy. To deepen my knowledge, I participated in workshops and took online and in-person UX courses. These covered fundamental concepts, user research, identifying pain points, translating insights into user flows, wireframes, interface design, and product testing. Through both work and learning, I have gained valuable experience and hope to continue growing in this field in the future.
