From the HRs that hire our awesome colleagues to the developers that create our one-of-a-kind solutions. And let\u2019s not forget about our leaders that inspire us to do better, and everyone else in between.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The functionality of our top-notch software, deserves an equally impressive user-friendly design, in order to create the perfect Fintech solution for our clients. It takes a special kind of person to transform our design visions into reality. Thankfully at Devexperts, we have many such individuals, one of whom is our senior interface designer, Alena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-devexperts-custom-thumbnail\"><figure><picture><source media=\"(max-width: 639px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/devexperts.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Alena-Senina-Post-inner-0-600x338.png 2x, https:\/\/devexperts.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Alena-Senina-Post-inner-0-300x169.png 1x\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 640px) and (max-width: 767px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/devexperts.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Alena-Senina-Post-inner-0-1168x657.png 2x, https:\/\/devexperts.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Alena-Senina-Post-inner-0-600x338.png 1x\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 1023px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/devexperts.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Alena-Senina-Post-inner-0-1168x657.png 2x, https:\/\/devexperts.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Alena-Senina-Post-inner-0-728x410.png 1x\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 1024px) and (max-width: 1279px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/devexperts.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Alena-Senina-Post-inner-0-1168x657.png 1x, https:\/\/devexperts.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Alena-Senina-Post-inner-0-690x388.png 1x\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 1280px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/devexperts.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Alena-Senina-Post-inner-0-1752x986.png 2x,\n\t\t\t\thttps:\/\/devexperts.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Alena-Senina-Post-inner-0-1752x986.png 1.5x,\n\t\t\t\thttps:\/\/devexperts.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Alena-Senina-Post-inner-0-870x489.png 1x\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"singleThumbnail lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/devexperts.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Alena-Senina-Post-inner-0-1024x576.png\" data-src=\"https:\/\/devexperts.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Alena-Senina-Post-inner-0-870x489.png\"\/><\/picture><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re fortunate not just because of her role and the impact she\u2019s had in terms of interface design. We are also grateful for the many initiatives she\u2019s been involved in within the company during the past several years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How do you explain to your mom what you do?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have a simple explanation \u2013 I tell her I draw red and green buttons so the users of our platforms can trade instruments. She nods and after a while, she asks me to remind her about what I do for work again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How did you decide to become an interface designer?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s nothing fancy behind the story of my career. I was lucky to get a web designer job after graduating from an art school.&nbsp;At that time, almost 10 years ago, web designs weren\u2019t sought after on the Russian market. There were almost no interface specialists with proper education in the area. So I had to learn in the field, grope for knowledge from books and blogs as well as train a sharp sight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Are UX\/UI designers artists or engineers?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019d say it\u2019s 20% to 80%. Design is definitely a subject of utility as it involves a lot of analytics and technical aspects. But there should be a space for creativity and aesthetics because you know what they say \u2013&nbsp;\u201cAttractive things work better\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If someone asks you to describe Devexperts, what do you say?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The official answer? We\u2019re an IT company developing Fintech products. But if I REALLY want to impress someone I always tell them about the perks \u2013 yoga classes, lunch at the office, awesome colleagues.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What do you think is the most important thing you\u2019ve learned while working here?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was impressed by the level of autonomy given to every employee. You\u2019re entirely free to schedule your day and prioritize your own tasks. At first, it may seem tempting, but you later find out that it\u2019s a very responsible job and it takes a lot of discipline and self-control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Here\u2019s a hard one. What\u2019s the proudest moment of your career so far?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two things that stand out. The first is&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/QxlKJoPIl3Q?t=1963\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">public lectures<\/a>. I never considered myself to be a public speaker before joining the company. The second is user testing that we are starting to implement to our products. I think that once we can make it a normal practice to do this testing it would be a huge professional win for me. I\u2019ve never done these things before and Devexperts gave me the possibility to accomplish them. For that, I\u2019d like to thank everyone who helped me along the way and made this shared success possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"773\" height=\"428\" src=\"https:\/\/devexperts.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/10\/blog_Alena_.png\" alt=\"Alena participates in a Fintech design conference\" class=\"wp-image-2386\" srcset=\"https:\/\/devexperts.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/10\/blog_Alena_.png 773w, https:\/\/devexperts.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/10\/blog_Alena_-300x166.png 300w, https:\/\/devexperts.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/10\/blog_Alena_-768x425.png 768w, https:\/\/devexperts.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/10\/blog_Alena_-320x177.png 320w, https:\/\/devexperts.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/10\/blog_Alena_-382x212.png 382w, https:\/\/devexperts.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/10\/blog_Alena_-578x320.png 578w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 959px) calc(100vw - 30px), 870px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Alena presents at an internal Devexperts Fintech conference<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>We hear you\u2019re working on an awesome initiative right now within Devexperts. Could you tell us a little more about it?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course! I recently created a&nbsp;Slack channel&nbsp;that is centered around design. I know that lots of people are interested in visual content and how our product designs are developed, so I wanted to have a platform where I could introduce the work we are doing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I wanted to talk about case studies and product updates we are involved in. Showcase some educational aspects like best design practices, advice, and the tools and processes we have within our team. I\u2019d also like to share some inspirational articles and have entertaining content like memes, quizzes, and fun facts about the designers on our team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What inspired you to create a Slack channel about design?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Honestly, the first reason is kind of selfish \u2013 it was vanity. Everyone wants their work to be noticeable within the company. The second reason is to enlighten people and show them what\u2019s going on design-wise, help them by providing advice and new knowledge if they\u2019re interested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"773\" height=\"428\" src=\"https:\/\/devexperts.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/10\/dxSpotlight_1_2.png\" alt=\"Alena presenting at Devexperts internal conference\" class=\"wp-image-2390\" srcset=\"https:\/\/devexperts.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/10\/dxSpotlight_1_2.png 773w, https:\/\/devexperts.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/10\/dxSpotlight_1_2-300x166.png 300w, https:\/\/devexperts.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/10\/dxSpotlight_1_2-768x425.png 768w, https:\/\/devexperts.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/10\/dxSpotlight_1_2-320x177.png 320w, https:\/\/devexperts.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/10\/dxSpotlight_1_2-382x212.png 382w, https:\/\/devexperts.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/10\/dxSpotlight_1_2-578x320.png 578w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 959px) calc(100vw - 30px), 870px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Alena talks about UX\/UI design at an internal conference.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>We wish you all the best with your new initiative. But enough about work\u2026 What can we find you doing on a typical Friday evening?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Normally when I finish work I go to dancing classes. If I\u2019m not dancing, I like to go out and meet my friends to have dinner. I like to discover new spots within the city with good wine or Asian food.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Then this will be the hardest question of all \u2013 what\u2019s the best type of dance?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Contemporary dance, for sure!

Things like changing business requirements, professional burnout, or even bad weather. It required humor, optimism, and creativity to turn those troubles into positives.
