Sophie Ivanova

I'm thrilled to recommend Maya, a remarkable colleague I had the pleasure of working with on the Podari Vreme website (www.podarivreme.org). I found Maya's journey from Product management to UX truly inspiring and bold. Maya is a self-starter who approaches her work with a consistent and data-driven mindset. She taught me the importance of user-centric design and thanks to her unique perspective (stemming from her background in PM) she helped me streamline processes beyond our project's scope. Since, Maya has evolved into a cherished friend and mentor. Her guidance is something I greatly appreciate and look up to as I continue to grow in my career.

It is with great enthusiasm that I recommend Maya as a UX/UI designer. From our very first project together, it became clear that Maya possesses a unique blend of creativity, technical expertise, and a deep understanding of user-centric design principles. She has an innate ability to translate complex ideas into intuitive and aesthetically pleasing interfaces. Whether she's crafting a minimalistic mobile app or a comprehensive web platform, Maya approaches each project with great passion and dedication, ensuring the end product is nothing short of exceptional. Her work speaks not only to design but also to vision, passion, and a keen understanding of user needs.
