Visual designer, Google Assistive Learning
I'm Erika, a visual designer, UX designer, and systems thinker at Google, with eight years of user-centered design experience.
I like to think of myself as a design jack-of-all-trades, with an emphasis on visual design. My expertise is shown best through fine tuning visual details and identifying inconsistent patterns throughout the UX process.
I love to solve problems using human-centered approaches by always putting the user first, and that's why I love UX. I work closely with diverse users around the world to find creative ways for them to intuitively and delightfully use the products that I work on.
Working at Google allows me and my work to reach millions of people and help solve problems like the equity gap that exists in education though design. I genuinely believe in the good that Google sets out to accomplish with creative and innovative technology applications.
Hi there! Nice to meet you. My name is Jovana and I am from a small European country of Serbia.
You guessed it right! When I was a kid I used to draw dresses, buildings, nature and made a bunch of fun mock ups for school projects. The passion for creating did not stop there. I took drawing classes, competed in ballroom dancing, performed, learned how to horseback ride, ice skate, drop from a hammock, hoop, pole and silks and sometimes defeated six feet aikido opponent. With his permission of course.
This left-handed, observant individual, always on a look out for glitches in design, never stopped focusing her creative energy towards better user experience. Working in a school made me a Jacqueline of all trades, well aware of people's needs and endless frustrations. Now I am on the mission to help them with my magic wands known as Figma, AdobeXD, Affinity Designer, InVision and all the new ones I am planning on mastering.
As a sensible seeker for optical harmony I am on the never ending quest for visually appealing functionality.
So let's chat. I promise at least a good conversation. :)
