I am a user experience and graphic designer, based in Nashua, New Hampshire. I have a professional background in user experience design, a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Graphic Design from Massachusetts College of Art, and a Master of Science degree in Marketing from Southern New Hampshire University.
Away from designing, I love playing with my chocolate lab puppy Lucky, going to Bikram yoga, reading anything I can from my favorite author Paulo Coelho, and sometimes drawing and painting!
I design beautiful things.
This is where the product strategy is defined. Who is it for, what problem does it solve, and what will it look and behave like.
This is where the usability and ease of use in the interaction between the user and the product is defined and iterated upon.
This is where the decisions are made about how the product behaves once a user touches or interacts with it.
This is where the focus is in the small details on how the product looks, feels, what are the colors, typography, iconography or imagery.
How I approach each new UX project.
Here are some in depth case studies of larger projects that I've worked on in the past.
Here are some other projects that I've worked on.
"It's an absolute luxury to work with a User Experience expert who trained as a Designer."
I have endless admiration for Ina and her work. It's an absolute luxury to work with a User Experience expert who trained as a Designer. Her consideration and sensibility brings a polish to every experience she maps out.
She's thorough in her understanding of an objective and flexible in her approach, ultimately creating the most intuitive solution for those lucky enough to navigate her designs. And she's a wonderful person to boot!
"A talented UX architect and progressive designer."
Ina and I worked together on a web portal for Liberty Mutual at Hill Holliday. She designed interactive wireframes for CMS admin systems, collaborating with both the digital and content teams to develop publishing workflows, improving interdepartmental collaboration and exploring opportunities for business process streamlining within online advertising and publishing operations. Throughout the project she was very helpful, providing intuitive and clear UIs with tasteful styling, and was flexible with design updates related to engineering factors during implementation.
Ina is very creative and friendly, clearly loving her work, has a strong command over UI/UX concepts and applications, and has an impressive background of world-class professional experience which shows in her contribution. A talented UX architect and progressive designer, I highly recommend Ina and hope to have another opportunity to collaborate in the future.
"Ina's work, and her work ethic, during her time at Digitas have been an outstanding example to everyone around her."
Ina Zejnati worked as a User Experience Designer at Digitas Boston from January 2011, to April 2012. As her supervisor, I managed Ina on a day-to-day basis, working directly with her on some client engagements, and assisting on others she led herself. Ina successfully completed work on user experience design assignments for clients in the financial services, consumer packaged goods and automotive industries. Ina's work, and her work ethic, during her time at Digitas have been an outstanding example to everyone around her. She is a capable designer, a critical thinker and is always thorough in her execution and follow-through. She is comfortable working individually, or as part of a larger creative team, and her warm personality and positive attitude make her a good collaborator.
Ina's graphic design background enables her to work closely with art directors and copywriters, and her UX prototyping and technical knowledge mean she works very effectively with development and digital implementation teams also.
I have no reservation recommending Ina for a user experience design position in an interactive agency environment, and would be happy to offer additional information if required.
"Talented interaction designer, with tremendous information architecture and prototyping skills."
Ina is an extremely talented interaction designer, with tremendous information architecture and prototyping skills. She has the wonderful ability to quickly review project requirements and create elegant, intuitive solutions. Her knowledge, experience and vision enable her to provide clients with documentation and standards that help streamline the creative process on any project.
She is also the type of person you look forward to seeing in the office every morning - kind, funny, and humble - yet passionate. Her work ethic and dedication to getting a job done right, enabled our team to deliver work that was very well received in a tight time frame. Ina is an absolute pleasure to work with.
"Ina is a very hardworking and diligent worker."
Ina is a very hardworking and diligent worker. She has a can-do attitude and is always ready for a challenge. She is smart and picks up things very quickly. We worked together for a year and in that time, Ina was a true partner and her efforts helped make the project a success. But what truly differentiates Ina is her easy-going personality and her desire to contribute to a positive company culture and team dynamics, which make her truly a joy to work with.
I'd love to hear about your next project! Send me a message and I will see if I can help.
