My approach combines user empathy, design systems thinking, and close collaboration with PMs and engineers to turn ambiguity into intuitive, scalable solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Outside of product design, I\u2019m also an artist and photographer. I draw inspiration from color, light, and emotion \u2014 exploring how visual rhythm can connect human experiences across mediums. That same curiosity guides my UX work: balancing structure and freedom, logic and emotion, function and beauty. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Skills:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>User Research &amp; Usability Testing <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Interaction Design &amp; Micro-Interactions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wireframing, Prototyping &amp; AI Ideation <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Storytelling &amp; UX Writing <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Information Architecture<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Data Analysis &amp; Metrics<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Visual Design &amp; Style Guide Development<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Strategic Design Thinking &amp; Business Alignment<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Technical &amp; Design Expertise:<br><strong>Design &amp; Prototyping:<\/strong> Figma, FigJam, Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, After Effects).<br><strong>Usability &amp; Research Tools:<\/strong> Lyssna (formerly UsabilityHub), FullStory.<br><strong>AI &amp; Emerging Tools:<\/strong> ChatGPT, v0 by Vercelle, Lovable.<br><strong>Collaboration &amp; Handoff:<\/strong> Notion, Zeplin, Confluence, Jira.<br><strong>APIs &amp; Testing Tools:<\/strong> Insomnia (REST API requests, JSON payload testing for Slack\/Teams).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>To learn more about me check my <a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1D6QML8XMY74j8K0saPdywEJ1SDgqB1M6\/view?usp=drive_link\">resume<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/alena-vorobiev\/\">LinkedIn.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-45","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alenavorobiev.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/45","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alenavorobiev.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alenavorobiev.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alenavorobiev.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alenavorobiev.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=45"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/alenavorobiev.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/45\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":538,"href":"https:\/\/alenavorobiev.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/45\/revisions\/538"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alenavorobiev.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=45"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
