Valeriia Marus
Passionate UI/UX designer from Dnipro, Ukraine
Temporary basing in Riga, Latvia
For 6 years I've been helping startups and agencies to find creative and functional visual solutions for their websites and mobile apps by creating interface designs which help businesses grow.
Hello!
During my carrier I’ve been working on various projects from different clients based in USA, Europe, Asia and Ukraine.  I am fond of aesthetical interfaces and really enjoy what I do.

My clients often come back to me and recommend me to their partners because I care about my reputation and guarantee my clients two things:
Thing 1
The quality result you've come to expect
In my work, I focus not only on my own taste and wishes, but on your users' needs. Therefore, I will do my best to make a quality result specifically for your business.
Thing 2
Pleasant cooperation and transparency of the process
I believe that the designer and the client are partners, so mutual understanding is very important. We will be in constant contact with you to resolve the most important issues.

A few shots from my Dribbble
When I have some pause in the projects, I enjoy creating interfaces without projects, just from my imagination. You can find both commercial and conceptual works on my Dribbble account.
FAQ
A few things my clients often ask me
Where can I see the price for your services?
The price depends on how much time takes your project. That's because I estimate every project individually.
What if we are in a different time zone than yours?
This is absolutely normal. Most of my work does not require your participation, but if necessary, we can find a suitable time for a call, or communicate exclusively by text messages.
How long does a project take?
It depends on the complexity of the project. Landing or commercial website can be done in 1-2 weeks. Online store will take from 3 weeks. Mobile application and any complicated interfaces will take a month or more. You can always get a more accurate time and cost estimate by providing me with project details.

By the way, if you really need to get a design ASAP, we can discuss it and find a solution :)
Do you take prepayment?
Most designers work on a prepaid basis, and yes, I do too. Prepayment is a guarantee for both parties of cooperation. We will also conclude an agreement, so you can be sure that I will fulfill the full scope of my responsibilities.
You have sent me a demo of the homepage, but I don’t like it, what should I do?
I always begin my work from research the client's needs and expectations. Together we approve the references, and only then I start to design the concept. Usually, my clients are satisfied with the result from the first iteration. But if this does not happen, I allow the creation of up to three concepts in order to find the most suitable solution. You can be sure that's this is more than enough.
Can you help with other digital services which do not include UI/UX design?
Of course, you can contact me if you need any digital specialists. I have many talented colleagues including illustrators, graphic designers, 3D artists, developers. Together we will assemble a dream team :)

Experience
Over 6 years of designing interfaces

I started my way in 2016 into a small web studio in Kyiv. I studied a lot to improve my skills and ended offline and online courses in digital drawing (ArtCraft, 2017), UI/UX design (Tubik Academy, 2018), and website building (Creative Practice, Webflow Academy, 2022).

I worked with companies, and freelance with clients all over the world. I made interfaces for such businesses as cryptocurrency, fashion and beauty, booking services, personal brands, factories and sellers, etc.

In 2020 I began to share my knowledge with junior designers, taking part as a speaker at events, teaching courses, and giving personal consultations. Also, I have a YouTube channel where I tell about my own experience in UI/UX design and the IT sphere.
