That’s me

Nice to meet you. I'm Annija.

For me, design has always been more than a career. It’s a lens through which I see the world. My journey began in fine art. Then I discovered the power of UX/UI design to merge creativity and technology. Through my work in start-ups, I saw how intuitive design and thoughtful details drive business success.

UX is a multifaceted discipline, requiring a blend of creativity, strategy, and technical know-how. I’ve worked on everything from start-ups to large-scale government projects, always striving to craft designs that inspire and deliver.

What I do

  • Already have a product but feel it could be more polished? A UX/UI audit uncovers pain points, identifies what’s working (and what’s not), and outlines actionable steps for improvement. Think of it as a diagnostic check to elevate your product’s usability and appeal.

  • Every great product starts with a strong foundation. A design system ensures consistency, shapes both visual decisions and the brand's tone of voice, and brings structure to your design process. It covers every detail, from the smallest button to the overarching framework. Let’s create a system that’s not only reliable but also uniquely yours.

  • It’s all about the user’s path. From their first click to completing a task, we’ll design a journey that feels intuitive, logical, and frustration-free. By focusing on user needs at every step, we create experiences that are seamless and satisfying.

  • What users see should make sense and spark joy. Whether it’s a minimalist layout or a bold and creative design, Iet’s craft interfaces that are visually appealing and easy to navigate. It’s about finding the perfect balance between form and function.

  • Understanding your users is the key to meaningful design. User research digs deep into your audience's needs, tests ideas, and eliminates guesswork. It’s all about creating meaningful solutions that resonate and deliver value.

  • Looking to develop a website fast without the complexity of custom coding? No-code tools like Squarespace and WordPress deliver sleek, professional results. Let’s build a site that’s efficient, elegant, and easy to manage.

  • A great brand deserves great visuals. From logos to social media, I create designs that bring your brand to life and leave a lasting impression. Whether you need a full brand identity or standout graphics, I’ve got you covered.

  • Need a knowledge boost for your team or students? My lectures cover everything from UX/UI fundamentals to niche topics, presented in an interactive, approachable way. Let’s make learning engaging and effective.

  • We had a great collaboration with Annija on a design project for Shipprojects. She quickly grasped our technical requirements and delivered multiple design concepts within the agreed timeline. The process of iterating on small adjustments was smooth and efficient, and we were very happy with the final result.
