Marina Melekhina

By education I am an advertising specialist, I have experience in brand management and SMM.

But in 2018, I realized I took the wrong professional direction and I should shift into the creative one, focus on things which I'm most passionate about: design and art.

After a long search, I made my choice in favor of interface designing. In this industry, I love the combination of analytics, which I enjoy doing, and creating attractive visual image of a product.

I have attended and successfully completed professional UX / UI Design course and keep learning and developing my skills.

I'm open to new knowledge and challenges and looking forward to get more experience in UX/UI.
