Andreea Popescu | Designing Value

I help Big Data brands to understand audience needs and drive customer engagement

Speciality

Information Design

I design and build effective digital products by using the following practices:

Organization

Organizing information clearly to help users to quickly find what they need to acheive goals

Simplification

Simplifying task flows to users stay engaged and continue on their happy experience path

Visualization

Visualizing abstract concepts to make information understandable and reduce cognitive load

Consistency

Displaying information consistently to reinforce visual identity and promote user trust

Validation

Refining designs incrementally by incorporating feedback from usability testing

Approach

Inclusive Design

Today's professional landscape includes individuals from all walks of life, who have different cultures, backgrounds and abilities, even within small teams.

I am multi-cultural and multi-lingual myself, and I have worked with international teams in Canada, the United States and France.

I enjoy collaborating with diverse individuals who have skills and knowledge different than my own because:

  • It keeps personal biases in check during the design process
  • It introduces new perpectives on product design & development
  • It promotes professional growth and continuous learing

The result is richer, more inclusive digital products.
