I had the privilege of working on Trela, a solution developed by Intersec to alert and protect people at risk (fire, flooding, pollution etc). It consists of a a mobile app, a public website and a back-office.

As the sole UX/UI Designer on the Trela project, I played a key role in designing the user interface for all three parts, ensuring that it was user-friendly and accessible. In the context of public warning systems, information had to be extremely clear.

Trela was showcased on multiple trade shows around public safety, to high praise. It was also spun off as government-made alerting app in Luxembourg.

This is my biggest project to date: a website for a vocational training centre (also called a professional development institute). I was tasked with redesigning it. It was an A to Z design project: research, hierarchy planning, wireframing, prototyping, user-testing, iterating. It has quite a few pages — go take a look.

Even though it was not planned in the beginning, I ended up being the main developer, but that's a story for another time. This project allowed me to stay with the company after the end of my internship, which was followed by a professionalisation contract and then by a permanent one.

This is a design and development project I did for a retail client. They are a renovation expert with more than 15 years of experience. They self-describe as "tech-illiterate" but looking to have some online presence nonetheless. I've made a simple website that presents them, their work, their price-list and reviews of the past clients in a clear manner. Conceived mobile-first, the website was also built to load fast, even on Ukrainian 3G/4G networks and old smartphones.

I also did all the back-end for this website using mostly No-Code tools. It was a fun learning experience.
