Tactiv Studios : UI/UX Designer & Project Management

With three years of experience as a UI/UX designer, I've honed my skills in applying design principles, ensuring a harmonious blend of aesthetics and functionality. Proficient in tools such as Adobe XD and Figma, I also bring expertise in Webflow, including a solid grasp of CMS features. My work spans various areas, from designing iOS mobile apps and creating dashboard interfaces to strategically transforming physical forms into digital formats. At Tactiv, we follow a clear process using tools like Trello, Asana, and now Jira to manage projects and tasks.

At Tactiv Studios, Figma is our go-to design tool. We prioritize delivering top-notch designs to clients by following a standard and efficient approach in creating and delivering products. With a strong foundation in design principles and keen attention to detail, we ensure that every project meets the highest standards of quality and client satisfaction.

Design System To keep our branding consistent, we set up a design system before starting any project. We stick to this system, making sure our designs follow the same rules and look cohesive from the beginning to the end of the project.

Components As our primary tool for UI and UX design, we ensure dynamic updates by using components and variants. These practices enable us to maintain a swift design pace, especially when updates are needed.

Auto Layout We use autolayout to make sure things look neat and tidy in our designs. It helps us keep a consistent spacing style, making everything look good without consuming so much time to do it.

In a dual role as Project Manager and Designer, I seized the opportunity to align design concepts with development efforts. Leading cross-functional meetings, I ensured approved designs seamlessly translated into the final product. This experience not only enhanced my design skills but also provided a valuable opportunity to showcase my project management expertise, bridging the gap between creative vision and technical execution.

Tickets We used Jira by Atlassian to organize tasks well. The Sprints feature helped share tasks evenly. Jira's ticket system made responsibilities clear, and for keeping project records, we used Confluence. It made documenting project needs easy and clear for everyone.

Meetings Every Monday, I set tasks and answer questions in a planning meeting. On Fridays, we review what we've done and discuss any pending tasks in a retrospective. It keeps our team on track and communicating effectively.

Testing After successfully completing a task in a ticket, my next step involves a thorough review on the testing server. I meticulously check to ensure that the task is not only pixel-perfect, accurately representing the original design from Figma, but also functions seamlessly according to the defined criteria. This attention to detail in the testing phase guarantees a high standard of both visual and functional excellence in our project deliverables.

During my employment in Tactiv studios, these are the projects I’m involved, mostly I collaborate with the team, and constant communication with the development team to ensure designs are possible and achievable.
