"I was working on a complex website redesign for a client, and even though I have quite a bit of experience in UI/UX and have been building websites for years, new challenges always pop up along the way—things I hadn’t dealt with before. I needed some guidance to get through those tricky parts, improve the design, and streamline the process. From the first call, Katarina was amazing. I sent her my Figma files and questions upfront, so we jumped right into it without wasting any time. She not only answered everything I asked but also shared extra resources and showed me quicker, smoother ways to reach my goals. It honestly felt like an eye-opener—I was learning things that I know will help me on future projects too. What stood out most was how professional and knowledgeable she is. Katarina’s experience working with big brands and corporate clients gave me access to insights I don’t usually get as a freelancer. It really felt like she opened a whole new door for me. I’ve already started applying what she taught me, and the difference in my client’s website is huge—both in terms of UX and UI. The results speak for themselves, and I can see how much more efficient and confident I’ve become in my work. This mentorship has been so valuable that I decided to continue working with Katarina. It’s been one of the best things I’ve done for my career, and I can’t recommend her enough!"
