who am i

Hi, this is Ilayda (il-lai-da). I’m a freelance UX Designer based in Chicago. Guided by empathy, analytical thinking, and communication. I use my design and writing skills to create user-oriented solutions for websites. My design voice is leans toward soft minimalism.

what i do

I have a background in content writing and product management, but it was my passion for creativity and problem-solving that led me to UX, where I truly found my calling. I thrive in environments that challenge me to grow while welcoming fresh ideas and diverse experiences. Always eager to learn, I embrace change and novelty. Writing is one of my greatest strengths - it’s how I express my voice.

what i love

Beyond UX, I love reading, writing, and exploring new places. My happy day involves a mix of productivity and enjoyment - whether that’s diving into a good book, re-watching my favorite shows, taking a nature walk, indulging in a bit of self-care, or relaxing with a glass of wine and a candle.
