Soft Skills
The main principles of my work are:
- Execute projects on time and avoid delays. (When the war started I moved with my family to a small village. Very often the lights and telephone connections were turned off so I went to a nearby village to contact the project manager and discuss working points with the team.)
- Be punctual and always in touch.
- Perfectionism - to bring everything to a great state. (I always try to keep order in the design files, make clear names of screens and layers and structure the content. I also adhere to "pixel perfect" in my design work. This allows better and easier cooperation with customers and developers.)
- Always remain cultural aware and responsive. (On one large project, SRM System - for data collection, there was a client who made a lot of edits. I listened to the clients feedback and made suggested designer solutions which led us to an understanding and we launched our wonderful product.)
- Listen to and take into account corrections and comments from senior colleagues.
- Be in a great mood and share it with others.
