About
I am a multidisciplinary designer, curious and passionate about visual products that bring joy to users. Over the past decade, I’ve experienced several key milestones that have shaped me as a designer. At each stage, I’ve gathered new tools to better understand user needs, create engaging content, design exceptional digital experiences, and craft products that users fall in love with.
wix studio [2022-current]
At Wix Studio, I worked on the company's core product, the Wix Studio Editor, focusing on designing and refining its experience as a professional-grade website-building tool for advanced users.
During my time there, I gained invaluable experience contributing to large-scale, cross-company initiatives, including a pivotal project to transition from one editor (Editor X) to another (Wix Studio). This experience deepened my expertise in designing responsive digital experiences and tackling complex product challenges. Additionally, I collaborated closely with cross-functional teams, including product managers, BI analysts, developers, and other stakeholders, to bring ideas to life.
During my time at Wix Studio, I worked on projects such No-Code Animations, the responsive text system, the section grid, and more.
wix wow [2017-2021]
Another significant stage in my career was working with the "Visual Innovative Team" (WowTeam) at Wix, a group of multidisciplinary creatives focused on developing cutting-edge content products. In this team, I learned how to take a product from its initial concept to a finished product that reaches millions of users. I gained valuable experience in simplifying experiences and creating content-driven products as design tools. I also worked closely with developers, collaborating to create prototypes that helped refine and perfect our products. Additionally, I honed my ability to approach content in original and engaging ways, identify trends, and transform those trends into compelling content.
As part of the Wow Team, I contributed to impactful products, including Vector Art, Videobox, Transparent Videos, background scroll effects, the Timeline animation API, background gradient, image shape crop, video mask and mobile animations.
wix design guild [2017-current]
Throughout my years at Wix, I was part of the design guild, surrounded by the most talented, creative, and innovative designers. This environment constantly inspired me and pushed me to become a better designer. I collaborated extensively on a wide range of projects with designers from various disciplines. Additionally, I had the opportunity to give lectures, write workshops for designers, and attend numerous lectures and workshops organized for guild members over the years.
galush online store [2017-2020]
Over several years, I was responsible for managing the creative and design aspects of Galush, a family-owned jewelry business. I handled social media management, photography, content creation, and website development. This experience provided me with hands-on insight into running a digital store and deepened my connection to the world of digital products, allowing me to understand the user experience from a personal perspective.
Visual Communication Student: [2010-2014]
As a visual communication student, I chose to deepen my expertise in motion design by studying video editing, sound design, scriptwriting, animation, and more. These skills provided me with a strong foundation in storytelling, the ability to think and design within a 'timeline', and the tools to craft experiences and narratives through motion.
