About
I'm Narine Maghakyan, a Graphic Designer & UI Artist with over seven years of experience creating digital and print designs that combine creativity, functionality, and strategic thinking. My background in fine arts, along with degrees in painting and graphic, industrial, and interior design, gives me a strong foundation in color theory, composition, and user-centered design principles.
I specialize in developing visually engaging, purposeful design solutions — from user interfaces and branded assets to complete design systems. My approach is guided by attention to detail, a passion for problem-solving, and a commitment to delivering designs that connect with audiences and elevate the overall experience.
I've worked with international teams across crypto, iGaming, SaaS and AI data — currently leading the Freedx rebrand across product and marketing, and art directing at Dream Agency. Comfortable moving between remote, contract and agency environments.
