Deniz Yildiz

With over 5 years of experience in research and a strong background in UX design, I excel in crafting data-driven narratives. I prioritize accessibility and inclusivity in my work, delivering human-centric solutions.

I have a track record of leading teams, completing projects ahead of schedule, and consistently exceeding expectations. I hold certifications in GA UX Design and Accessibility, complemented by my academic background in human psychology and economics.

My skill set includes competitive analysis, user research, persona development, wireframing, usability testing, and proficiency in tools like Figma. I'm well-versed in Agile methodology, content strategy, and data analysis. My commitment is to translate data into actionable insights, enhancing user experiences and delivering impactful solutions.

I'm a dedicated User Experience Designer (UED) with extensive experience in creating user-friendly, visually appealing designs that prioritize usability. Staying up-to-date with the latest UX best practices is a key part of my work. I've worked on various projects, including conceptual navigation apps, e-commerce website redesigns, and new mobile app development, collaborating closely with clients.

Beyond design, I actively engage in research, analyzing competitors, conducting user tests, and ensuring smooth collaboration with developers. I also take on strategic tasks like creating mood boards, defining brand identities, and implementing design systems for effective creative processes.

In research, some of my past experiences support grant applications, preparing research findings for presentations and organizing conferences and workshops for knowledge sharing. My research skills include conducting literature reviews, screening interviews, and moderating focus groups to gather qualitative insights.

My journey combines design and research to deliver user-centric solutions that align with industry trends.
