SAVCHYN IN PROGRESS
Hello, my name is Irena Savchyn and I am a Digital Designer. I define my job broadly to cover the wide skillset I have learned over the last eight years.
It started with photography, a blog and my first version of Photoshop. After that, I got to know the design scene for the first time in Berlin and gained my first experience with brand identity and user experience as an design assistant for the art direction of an real estate marketing design agency.
After an intensive time in Berlin, I moved back to Cologne in 2021 to study Integrated Design at KISD and and started my digital design working student experience.
Through my work as a digital designer in a healthcare agency and my personal focus on image and motion at KISD, I have been able to specialise in the field of extended reality user experience and interface design in the last few years.
The Motion Experience Lab at KISD also offered me the opportunity to gain various event and exhibition experiences and to practice as a competent digital design project manager by helping to design and run two courses in the winter semester 2024 at KISD.

Goals
Stay in motion
It is particularly important to me for my work and my personal growth to keep moving. Technically, methodically, emotionally.

From click dummies in Figma to prototyping in ShapesXR and design implementation in Unity.

a part of.

As a student assistant, I was able to help organize and run two MXL courses. On the one hand, a first semester introduction to AR content creation and a short-term project at the end of the winter semester with the result of an audio-visual live motion performance.
Design Tutorship @MXL 2024
First UX and UI.
Then Motion and now XR Design.
Over the past 3 years, I have been able to get to know all facets of healthcare marketing and have been able to grow not only as a digital designer.
My work also took place at exhibitions, productions and events.
