I’m a designer because I choose to be one.<\/span><\/strong><\/h5>\n
\n<\/span><\/strong>That higher presence set my path, and I enjoyed it so much that I followed my instincts. I picked a high school where the specialization was hand sculpting in wood and beautiful artistic elements for furniture. Here I learned about how furniture evolved over the centuries in different styles, from Egyptian, Greek, Medieval, Renaissance, Rococo, Art Nouveau, Bauhaus, Art Deco, and Bohemian to Organic and Minimalis.<\/p>\nGoing to college, I needed to learn how to follow my dreams. So it was a turning point when a colleague from my class said he was going to University to be a designer. That spark lit up my dream, and I saw my path; I realized I wanted to be one.<\/p>\n
Over the following summer, I prepared a portfolio and presented myself for the exam. But unfortunately, I didn’t get the grade to be accepted into University. So the following year, I spent all my remaining time after college in a School of Art taught by a teacher how to take the exam. Finally, in the fall, I presented myself to the exam, and I did get in. I got admission in second place from a class of eight at West University of Timisoara, Faculty of Art, specializing in Design.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”2924″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”50px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
I’m a designer because I was proven to be one.<\/span><\/strong><\/h5>\n
\n<\/span>The next five years spent in University put me face to face with a new creative world that I lived at the max every day. I learned about Design, fonts, colours, and composition and painted and moulded shapes from clay. As a result, I meet excellent teachers and colleagues, and I meet the History of Art with all the incredible artists and their creations.\u00a0<\/span>In my third year, I started working at a local printing company, where I learned the value of font and typography. There was the first place where I applied my learning from school and learned how to work with real clients.<\/span><\/p>\nAfter finishing university with one of my colleagues, we opened a design business. Vision Design was my first personal creative adventure; from that posture, we helped companies from the west side of Romania with their creative needs.<\/span><\/p>\nAfter two good years working with Vision Design, I moved to Canada in October 2022. Here, I started working for M3 Worldsites Marketing Inc., a creative agency in the KW area. These years were moving fast because I liked my work. I started in Graphic Design and grew with the Internet, moving from Visual to Digital Design, responsive websites, and various digital experiences.<\/span><\/p>\nIn the main time, I was doing freelance with iTrend Design and lately with Designatio Studio working with local agencies from Guelph to Hamilton and Oakville area, helping them with extra load and serving on a contract basis for different clients.<\/span><\/p>\nAfter 2o years of this incredible journey, I’m even more excited every day about the opportunities and challenges that Design will set in front of me to solve and make users’ experiences more natural, pain-free, and successful human experiences.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_class=”row_padding_top row_padding_bottom has-animation”][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”50px”]

<\/i><\/div>01. EMPATHISE<\/h6>Research Process<\/span>.<\/strong>\u00a0I am approaching the project with an empathic understanding of the problems I have to solve. Understand user experiences, motivations, and frustrations, and immerse me in the environment to gain a profound understanding of the issues involved.\u00a0Using empathy to understand the human-centred design, I set apart my assumptions and do my best to understand the user’s needs and insights. A detailed analysis of the competition, surveys, user studies, and the buyer’s reaction to the product or brand presented are vital for the project to start correctly.[vc_empty_space height=”40px”][vc_separator]<\/i><\/div>02. DEFINE<\/h6>Define Process<\/span>.<\/strong> The next step is to put together the information collected from the research phase. Then, I will analyze and synthesize the collected data to define the essence of the problems and define them as problem statements. In this phase, I’ll develop features, functions and other solutions that will allow users to solve their problems. Now it is vital to define the questions that will help to channel future solutions. Directly I will address the problem by naming the problem.[vc_empty_space height=”40px”][vc_separator]
