Being a designer and digital artist in a Romanian cultural context, is in itself a prediction of an interesting journey of self-discovery and development: advertising agency, game studio, corporation, small software company, to name the main job stops along my professional voyage.
Hi there, 👋
I'm Elisa and I enjoy using my skills in product/UI design, illustration, and painting to produce unique digital products. I have been working with Adobe CC apps for a long time, since 2009 (~15yrs), accompanied by Adobe XD + Zeplin (~3 yrs), Sketch + InVision (~1.5 yrs), in the past, and most recently -Figma since 2019 (~6 yrs). Also Unity, ZBrush, Blender (~1 yr).
Although I launched myself as a graphic designer, working at first at an advertising agency, I've felt the need to express myself through drawing and painting. My career path offered me the chance of working in an indie gaming studio which was very rewarding. As an UI/UX designer I learned to closely observe IA, the ways in which digital products work and I tried to design better user experiences. Also, I learned how to bring warmth and friendliness inside digital interfaces through mixing elements of UI with illustration, when and where that was a good call for the overall user-product interaction.
I have experience working in various industries including Arts & Entertainment, Video games, Automotive, Banking, Fintech, Biotech, Desktop Computing Software Products, Education and Health, Food and Restaurants, Computer and Information Technology, Media production, as well as Marketing and Advertising.
I have previously worked in the gaming industry for 4-5 years, for multiple companies. IT ~7 yrs; Education ~4 yrs; Banking sector ~3yrs; Medical software ~1yr; Automotive sector ~1yr.
I'm a sporty person and I adore animals, nature, and outdoor activities. My love for countryside, wildlife and human shapes harmony has always been the key source in challenging me to record their beauty (traditional or digital, on paper or on screen). My attention is often highjacked by movies, books, architectural elements, and illustrations.
Oh, and yes! I love working with talented individuals on exciting projects.
