UX UI | & Visual Designer | New York, NY | linkedin.com/in/elenalevy | elenalevyga@gmail.com

Fascinated by people and their behaviors, I always want to know when, how, and why they make their decisions. I’m an enthusiastic design professional with a multicultural background and experience in branding, advertising, and visual communications. I feel the happiest learning new things and helping solve problems that matter to the world.
