About Me

Hi, I'm Iliyana, a UX/UI designer from Bulgaria with nearly 3 years of experience. I specialise in creating clean, user-friendly interfaces for various platforms and devices. My approach to design is deeply rooted in empathy, usability, and accessibility, focusing on making designs that are visually appealing and enrich people's lives. I'm actively looking for full-time or hybrid roles as a Product Designer or UX/UI Designer, drawn to projects with a human-centered mission.

Currently, I work as a UX/UI Designer at Syrona Health, a digital healthcare company, where I streamline user experiences and develop intuitive design solution for the mHealth app SORA, highlighting the importance of inclusivity and personalisation in digital healthcare. I have completed my BSc in Web Design and Development, with first-class honors, from Edinburgh Napier University. This included a year-long placement, which reinforced my belief in learning by doing.

When not designing, I enjoy fitness, volleyball, photography, and DIY interior projects that extend my design passion beyond the digital realm.

Driven to design with compassion and insight, I am committed to advocating for user needs and creating a more accessible world. I eagerly look forward to the next challenge and the opportunity to leave a positive mark through my creative work.
