HEJ!<\/h1>\n

MY NAME IS HELEN<\/h1>\n

I balance user needs and business goals to create engaging and enjoyable products<\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row thb_full_width=”true” thb_row_padding=”true” content_placement=”middle”][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1743119176230{padding-top: 10% !important;padding-right: 15% !important;padding-bottom: 10% !important;padding-left: 15% !important;}”]\n

WHAT DRIVES ME AS A DESIGNER<\/h2>\n

I\u2019m driven by the challenge of turning complexity into clarity. I love creating digital experiences that feel intuitive, thoughtful, and human – designed not just to function, but to connect with real users.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

THE KIND OF IMPACT I WANT TO MAKE<\/h2>\n

I want to shape products that empower rather than overwhelm – products that are inclusive, accessible, and quietly delightful. Experiences that feel like a conversation, not a monologue.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1742752893746{padding-top: 50% !important;padding-right: 20% !important;padding-bottom: 50% !important;padding-left: 20% !important;background-image: url(http:\/\/helenkuusk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_9271.png?id=1526) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row thb_full_width=”true” thb_row_padding=”true” content_placement=”middle”][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1742753411518{padding-top: 50% !important;padding-right: 20% !important;padding-bottom: 50% !important;padding-left: 20% !important;background-image: url(http:\/\/helenkuusk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_9274.png?id=1528) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1490809635742{padding-top: 10% !important;padding-right: 15% !important;padding-bottom: 10% !important;padding-left: 15% !important;}”][vc_column_text css=””]\n

HOW I WORK AND WHAT I VALUE<\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text css=”” animation=”animation top-to-bottom”]\n

Empathy first<\/h5>\n

I aim to understand people deeply, not just their behaviours, but also their motivations and frustrations.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][vc_column_text css=”” animation=”animation top-to-bottom”]\n

Simplicity with depth<\/h5>\n

I aim for solutions that are clean, thoughtful, and rooted in real understanding.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][vc_column_text css=”” animation=”animation top-to-bottom”]\n

Design with purpose<\/h5>\n

I care about designing solutions that actually matter, not just things that look good.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text css=”” animation=”animation top-to-bottom”]\n

Collaboration over ego<\/h5>\n

The best solutions come from listening and building together. I value honest conversations and creating space for everyone’s voice at the table.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][vc_column_text css=”” animation=”animation top-to-bottom”]\n

Ownership & clarity<\/h5>\n

I value clear communication, shared goals, and taking initiative.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][vc_column_text css=”” animation=”animation top-to-bottom”]\n

Growth mindset<\/h5>\n

I treat every project (and challenge) as an opportunity to learn and get better.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
