Jelena Matejić, UX/UI Designer and Illustrator

With over 15 years of experience in the design field, here's a brief overview of my journey

Started doing design work in 2006 long before Responsive Web when our biggest nemesis was Internet Explorer 6.

Over the years, I have worked on numerous projects, ranging from designing small presentation websites to creating extensive portals like Dnevnik.hr. It has been an interesting and fulfilling journey.

The versatility of my job is what I love most. One day, I'm designing user flows for Dutch farmers, and the next, I'm revamping a customer care app for a large telecom provider. It's always an exciting challenge!

Web designer/developer

Virtus dizajn

Jun 2006 - Jul 2015 9 yrs 2 mos

Freshly out of web design course started working for Virtus as a frontend developer and designer. Over the years my responsibilities grew and at my last year in Virtus I was handling whole projects: clients, design, frontend and backend (PHP). Still I enjoyed design the most, as the IT landscape was changing it was finally possible to become UX/UI designer “only” :)

Projects

As a UX/UI designer I enjoy working on complex systems and over the years did work for various projects. My experience includes media platforms such as Dnevnik.hr, 24sata, Večernji list, Poslovni dnevnik, Showbuzz etc. presentation websites, but also various apps like A1 and POQ.

Since I don't often publish UX/UI work resulting only in few case studies, if you would like more information about projects I worked on best would be to contact me.

Yaga’s Hut is a
project I am
passionate about

Let me tell you a bit about my Slavic mythology art project ...

I love art because it offers me the chance to be creative with limitless possibilities. Currently I do my work in digital medium and it is focused on Slavic mythology. I enjoy exploring wondrous world of it, but also I do my best to bring it closer to everyone with my work.

Started Yaga’s Hut to have one place where we can all enjoy Slavic mythology in more artistic setting. Always opened for suggestions, stories, inspiration and would love to hear your local folk tales.

Why Yaga’s Hut? Because of Baba Yaga’s chicken legged hut! One of the common folktales I couldn’t stop revisioning ...
