Podkrepi.bg is a non-profit organisation based in Bulgaria that aims to provide a platform for transparent donations for organisations with social impact and people in various needs. Podkrepi.bg doesn't charge any commissions from the campaigns on the platform (the only taxes are to third party bank/money transfer providers). Last but not least, the whole activity of the organisation is entirely supported by volunteers, none of whom are on a payroll.

Mentoring young people in the beginning of their professional design career

My Primary objective was to launch and maintain the Minerva Design System. I was communicating with the entire engineering team which included Apple, Android and Web developers as well as the design team to ensure the cohesiveness of our products throughout the different platforms which consisted of Mobile, Desktop and TV. After launching the initial version, I then further aligned the dev and design teams by automating some of the deliverables such as tokens, components and processes. I build tools to ensure the accessibility, cohesiveness and aesthetics of our system meet our expectations and was easier to maintain.

Tools and frameworks used:
- Figma
- Sketch
- GIT
- Atlassian
- Style Dictionary
- Framer
- VS Code
- Adobe
- WCAG 2.2
- Designing for Mobile, Web and TV

I was responsible for creating digital products that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also provide exceptional user experiences for content consumption for both LiveTV and on demand. I was using the principles of user experience and user interface design and collaborating with cross-functional teams to continuously refine the products to be more effective and user-friendly.

Tools and frameworks used:
- User-Centered Design
- Design Thinking
- Lean UX
- Double Diamond
- Design Sprint
- Human Interface Guidelines
- Material Design
- Figma
- Sketch
- Adobe
- Framer
- Atlassian
- Designing for Mobile, Web and TV

My role was to bridge the gap between user needs and technical implementation, ensuring that the final product is visually appealing, easy to use, and provides a positive user experience. This was done for both internal use as well for clients of TELUS International Europe.
