About me
Hi! I'm Jalita and I love creating beautiful user interfaces using typography and strong colour palettes. Passionate about interfaces and latest trends in digital, I hunt for the best use cases and applications for the best user experiences. As a UI/UX designer, I create designs for products including UX/UI, wireframes, concepts, prototypes, illustration, branding and graphic design. Bitten with wanderlust, I speak 6 languages and have worked with many complex digital projects with experience from Stockholm, London, Paris, Tokyo, and Shanghai. Since May 2016, I work and live remotely to further explore creative inspirations through people I meet, ideas I come across and embody cultural richness. I've worked in both B2B and B2C markets. In London, I managed the delivery of web build projects for big brands such as Harley Davidson, Jamie Oliver, British Library, National History Museum and Paul Smith. I've worked in Marketing and as an Agile Digital Project Manager across developer, design and UX teams. I have 8 years of experience working in the creative industry and media including SaaS B2B products and social listening. I've worked with some of the best creative agencies in London where I learned from outstanding Art Directors, UX designers, and developers. In my work, I use Sketch, Photoshop, Illustrator, Affinity Designer and code in HTML5, CSS3 whilst learning Javascript. I use Bootstrap and Wordpress for websites. Always on a learning journey, I love beautiful UI interactions and watch them come to life whilst learning AfterEffects. With an eye for detail and perfection, I strive for the perfect composition and best user experience.
