Hi! I’m Bianka.

My goal with every design project is to bring a meaningful solution that is not only aesthetic but thoughtful and answers the real needs of the users. 

I aim for the best possible outcome, which requires to first deeply understand the situation, the reasons behind it, and the goals of the project. Just like it is also important to keep it in mind, revise it throughout the process, and ask for constructive feedback. 

I value other’s perspectives and often evaluate my work and processes to learn from my mistakes and find where I can improve and optimize my design.

I always seek to understand others’s perspectives and feelings. Empathy is not only my approach in life but also throughout my design process, as I believe that it is essential for understanding the users’ needs better and for successful collaboration.

In 2022, I completed a 3-year-long Emotional Intelligence and Personality Improvement education program that helped me advance in empathizing, giving constructive feedback, active listening, self-reflection, and effective communication.

In the last 5+ years, I gained experience at design agencies, developing both offline and digital designs, including responsive web designs.
