A headshot of Anna.

Hello! I’m Anna Wasilczuk
UX/UI designer based out of Northbrook, IL

Torn between my creative spirit and need for organization and patterns, I took a plunge into the world of UX/UI and did not look back. Organizing flows and processes and designing them for aesthetics and efficiencies became second nature. When not creating digital designs, I am re-organizing cabinets at home, cleaning out obsolete items, and beautifying my space. I’m eager to contribute my skills and passion for effective workflow and communication to support the success of dynamic productions. Prioritizing data driven design. Letting perfectionism go and focusing on my authentic story and progress.
