Author
Hi! I’m Eva. I’m a product and interaction designer who went from internships and agency jobs to being a successful freelancer working with companies all around the world, including Silicon Valley.
In the past years, I’ve worked with ClickUp, DoorDash, Byju’s, as well as created products for several exciting startups like Gamee, Creator Cash, and Medevio.
The transition hasn’t been fast and easy. It took me countless hours of learning, some trial-and-error experiences and lots of self-improvement to bring me where I am now. I believe that the journey is big part of success, but I know now that some parts could be easier and I realized I can help with that.
I enjoy sharing my knowledge through various social channels, and now it’s time to finally share it with a wider audience by offering you this practical guide on how to navigate the world of digital design.
