Cem Akca
UX / Product designer
A UX/Product designer with 3 years of experience.
I currently work at Yellowtail Conclusion, a fintech consultancy Company, I spend my time designing customer facing as well as administration products for mortgage, pension, insurance and banking.
I am a jack of all trades, that means doing UX and UI and I am actively involved in user research and testing too.
I was born and raised in Istanbul, Turkey, and lived there until I was 23. I am an expat for almost 4 years, living in the Netherlands since I came here for a Master studies. I have been to more than 30 countries and I am still exploring the world.
In my free time you will probably find me at a hip-hop concert or just doing sports. I am also leading the Diversity & Inclusion committee at my current company, where I happily work together with management, HR and marketing to create initiatives for POC, LGBTQ+ and expats
Skills
I am involved in discoveries, and I have experience in mapping out user groups, making personas, and understanding which groups have specific goals/needs.
🔍 User Research
I work agile, in a dedicated scrum team for most of my clients. This means active collaboration with people from different expertise, and working together with developers in every step of the product.
🤼 Agile working
I am in Figma most of the time, where I am designing or reusing components to make prototypes, in other words clickable demo's. With this prototypes I show my designs and get feedback.
📱 Prototyping
I am very familiar with creating or using a style guide. I also have extensive experience in visual design, creating assets, making animations, or adding some glow to the screens.
🎨 UI & Visual Design
I have experience in using design systems, and also adding new components to design systems. I collaborate with developers to align their component libraries to systems in Figma.
🧮 Design System
In collaboration with UX researchers, I have conducted multiple user tests. Actively involved from making a test script, to analyzing improvement points and communicating it with scrum team.
🎨 User Testing
