Daniela Burnaz

Design Engineer

Hi! I'm Daniela

At heart I am a Design Engineer. I take pride in my work and I get very excited when I see my designs come to life in web and print.

I'm a 9x hackathon winner and self-taught Design Engineer. I love learning new things and going in deep rabbit holes in subjects such as psychology and phylosophy.

I initially graduated as a Visual Design Technician, but I always wanted to work in a domain that involved technology instead, so I started learning programming and web development. Since then I've worked as a Frontend Developer for 2 years, and for the past few months I've worked as a Design Engineer in over 5 projects.

In my free time I like to create art, rock climb, mentor young people in creative arts, and make designs for Estonian Student Satellite.

P.S. I like giving hugs 🤗
