Custom UI/UX Design

I designed and built a custom WordPress site with a “minimalist library” aesthetic to ensure focus on the text. Collaborating with local team members, I managed the UI localisation into Lithuanian, ensuring the interface was intuitive for native speakers while maintaining a clean, modern design.

Solution

The result was Knygumanija, a bilingual literary portal created from scratch. This project demonstrated my ability to lead the entire design lifecycle—from UX wireframing to final localised execution—in a foreign linguistic and cultural environment

During my European Solidarity Corps in Lithuania, I conceived a digital platform to promote reading culture. I developed a content strategy that bridged my international perspective with local interests, focusing on making literary reviews accessible and engaging for a niche community.

My Role (Developed from Scratch):

I designed and developed the entire digital presence for this project using WordPress, focusing on creating an emotional and seamless user experience for a global audience.
