HELLO.
I'm a UX/UI Designer who specializes in Design Systems. My production background, combined with attention to detail, an understanding of hierarchy, and the ability to work within brand guidelines, ensures a meticulous, pixel perfect and seamless user experience. I'm passionate about Design Systems, inclusivity and accessibility, and working with a team full of Designers, Researchers and Developers.
When I'm not busy working in Figma, you'll find me—stomach growling—at a new restaurant or dreaming about far-off destinations.
If you are looking for freelance or full-time help, you can reach me at erin@erinhorvath.com.
