Hello there 👋

I’m Viktorija.

Currently full-time employed at Cognizant in London, England as senior UX Consultant.

Originally I was born and raised in Bitola, Macedonia. I pursued my education in Maribor, Slovenia to continue my experience and approach a new challenge of education in a new country. During this time I discovered a passion for designing beautiful UI. I’ve always been a creative person and I was glad to find an outlet through my work.

In the years since, I’ve learned that everyone has a story to tell and it’s important to be open to change and fresh ideas. Working closely with designers and product managers on usability testing, I became fascinated with the way people think, feel and behave - and how products and services could help them fulfilled their needs.

In the past, I studied in the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, where I graduated from the University of Maribor, with a Master’s Degree in Informatics and Technology of Communication.
