Yany (yawn-e)

A collaborative UX/UI designer who brings together design, research, and technology to create clear, scalable, and user-centered digital experiences.

I’m a UX/UI designer focused on turning complex systems into clear, intuitive, and accessible digital experiences. I bring together design, research, and technology to create solutions that not only meet user needs, but also drive measurable business outcomes.

I’ve worked across cross-functional teams spanning product, marketing, and engineering to design end-to-end experiences, from early discovery through wireframes, prototyping, and final delivery. My approach is grounded in clarity, usability, and iteration, using research and real user behavior to inform decisions and continuously improve the experience.

I’m especially drawn to solving complex, large-scale challenges, where aligning business goals with user needs requires both systems thinking and strong collaboration. Whether refining a digital sales flow or contributing to a broader design system, I focus on reducing friction, strengthening consistency, and creating experiences that scale.
