Hello, I am Jelena, hobby artist and
full-time UX/UI designer

I have been working in the design field for over 15 years and here is a quick overview

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

Over the years worked on numerous projects. From a designer for a small presentation websites, to designing huge portals like Dnevnik.hr it has been an interesting journey.

I love my work since it gives me flexibility. One day I am designing user flows for Netherlands farmers and the other redesigning customer care app for a big telecom company. It is exciting!

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

I enjoy working on complex systems and over the years have worked on various projects. Some of them being from media sphere such as Dnevnik.hr, 24sata, Večenji list, Showbuzz etc. but also various apps like A1 and POQ (UK e-commerce white label company).

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.

Artwork is
my hobby and
Yaga’s Hut a project
I am passionate about

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

My art is purely on hobby basis and I intend to keep it that way, currently I do my work in digital medium and it is focused on Slavic mythology. Explore wondrous world of it, but also I will 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 ...
