CURRICULUM VITAE Stefan Oprea Freelance UX/UI, Front-end Developer Portfolio: http://www.flyingpi.info CAREER SUMMARY I define interaction models, user task flows and UI specifications. Communicate scenarios, end-to-end experiences, interaction models and screen designs to stakeholders. Develop and maintain design wireframes, mock-ups, and specifications as needed. Produce high-quality visual designs, from concept to execution, including those for desktop, web and mobile devices at a variety of resolutions (icons, graphics, and marketing materials). Create and iterate on assets that reflect a brand, enforce a language, and inject beauty and life into a product. I’ve found that providing especially close attention to interaction design and accounting for edge cases is important. Developers are responsible for building the product — making sure that my interactions function properly for all use cases will save their time and frustration.
