Hi, welcome to my Portfolio!
I am Jana Zajdenova
a UI/UX designer with a background in international marketing and a passion for storytelling. I enjoy finding creative solutions and transforming them into efficient, human-focused experiences. Skilled at user research, designing functional and aesthetic content, as well as working among diverse international teams.
About me
Curiosity has always guided my path. From the start, I sought real-life applications to complement theory, which led me to explore diverse fields, roles, and team dynamics — from organizing events for 200+ participants with AIESEC, to working on automation processes with interdisciplinary teams at Siemens, and assisting customers during late-night shifts as a hostess.
What consistently grounded my journey were two core principles:
Listening closely to people’s needs
Turning those insights into meaningful, practical solutions
Over time, I discovered how much I enjoy visual storytelling — taking ideas and shaping them into engaging, useful, and aesthetically pleasing experiences. This passion led me to pursue a transition into UX/UI design.
Recently, I had the opportunity to bring this skillset to life as the sole Communication Designer for the German team at Gaia-X, a forward-thinking European digitalization project. I developed visuals across a wide spectrum — from infographics, factsheets, and presentations to social media campaigns and print materials — always with a focus on clarity and strategy in design.
Currently, I’m pursuing a Master’s degree in Sustainable Design Management at ecosign in Cologne, where I work on both solo and team projects that combine management, design thinking, and sustainability. I'm especially interested in how analog and digital design can create impactful, responsible solutions.
Are you looking for a designer who brings an artistic mindset, strategic thinking, and positive energy to the table?
Let’s connect — I’m open to new collaborations and projects!
