About
Design is a language - in an instant, it communicates messages, directions, and identity. So with design, I see myself as a kind of an interpreter. My task is to translate abstract ideas and complex processes into streamlined experiences that feel sophisticated, clear, delightful, and intuitive.

Ilina is a sophisticated designer with strong sense of brand and attention to detail. She designed our Daily Challenge web application under very tight deadlines. Always communicated effectively and worked as a seamless part of our team throughout our entire process. She has great user experience instincts and provides beautiful interfaces that are both elegant and usable. I would hire her in an instant and would love to work with her again.
Mike Roberts
PerfectShare
Our file sharing project was large and divided into several phases over several months. The extremely high quality of Ilina's work was the same on day 180 as it was on day 1. The design not only looked good but was also intuitive and very easy to use. It was a definite hit with our customers. There is absolutely no question Ilina has secured the number one "go to" slot for design at PerfectShare. Bottom line... Ilina does design like Mozart does music. Hire her.

Ilina is rapidly emerging as one of the best web designers in the world. Her instincts, creativity, attention to detail, balance, use of color and typography are second to none. To top it off, she's a joy to work with, endeavoring to understand a project's requirements deeply in order to deliver the perfect, timeless design.

Ilina is a top-notch professional who delivers high quality results. We thoroughly enjoyed working with her. She was very responsive and detailed in her communication. We appreciate the amount of time she spent collecting our thoughts and feedback. After hearing our initial ideas she suggested great improvements. The first mock-ups were delivered earlier than we anticipated and nearly identical to the final version we chose. We worked together to make slight refinements until it was to our complete satisfaction. Ilina is very detail oriented and customer focused - thanks for the awesome new website! We would not hesitate to use her again or recommend her to others.

Working with Ilina for the past 7 months has been an incredibly productive experience. Her design work and professionalism are second to none. I'll never again work with anyone besides Ilina for design. She's by far the best!
