Improving the experience for our users by allowing them to switch between the different modes, and to be the first BI application to have this feature. Leveraging the Dark mode feature to create a better workflow for our design system both for engineers and users, following by aligning old components, colors and experiences, and create high accessibility standard.

What I do?

Cross-disciplinary

I combine my knowledge in different fields and aspects of Design:
Illustration, Motion, Microanimations, GUI, Prototyping, Research, in order to create a holistic experience across products.
I am also familiar with HTML and CSS.

Data enthusiast

I love working with data, numbers & tables. I believe we should use data to track engagements, measure success, and use it to improve both the product and our work in Design & Engineering.
My work always includes numbers and telemetrics.

Community Building

I helped to create multiple communities in the design field, conducting events, engaging internal & external audiences via email, social marketing techniques.
Some of the initiatives:

Community developer for OFFFTLV 2019

Accessibility

I aspire to create accessible experiences for as many users as possible by adhering to best practices and accessibility guidelines. From color contrast to screen readers, tab order, and components definition.

Customer journeys

A user journey is the breadth of our work. Understanding user path, obstacles, pain-points, their delights, and happy moments. Creating a user journey helps me to dive deep into user interactions and solve their deepest struggles.

Cross-platform

For the last 2 years, I've been creating experiences for different platforms, OS & devices. From iOS, Android, Windows, to Web patterns and guidelines focusing on aligned experiences for different sizes and design-languages.
