About Me.
Hello, I'm Medina, a passionate UX/UI Designer based in London , originally from Azerbaijan.
​
My journey into UX/UI Design was sparked by my love for art, colours, and proportions. Backed by a marketing background and an MBA, I bring a holistic perspective to product design, considering both user experience and business objectives.
​
Having lived in Azerbaijan, Poland, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom, I've learned the value of flexibility and stepping out of my comfort zone.
​
Drawing inspiration from art and my travels, I specialize in crafting captivating user journeys that seamlessly blend creativity with functionality.
​
Beyond design, I find joy in constantly learning, exploring new culinary delights, discovering unique places and dancing Salsa.
Let's connect and embark on a creative journey together.
