I am very excited to nominate Marta Demchyna for a Core Contributor role as a UX/UI Designer!
Since last summer, Marta has consistently impressed me with her thoughtful and impactful contributions to the Open edX Mobile designs. She has proactively proposed improvements to the mobile design system, driven meaningful progress across key feature areas, and regularly joined mobile design meetings to identify and engage with new opportunities for contribution.
Marta has played a significant role in enhancing the mobile platform’s authentication and commerce experiences. She has also adapted numerous screens to better support a wide variety of devices and use cases, including tablets, small/large phones, and users with accessibility needs. Throughout her work, Marta has followed file organization conventions with care and created well-structured work-in-progress pages to support open design review and smooth developer handoff.
Marta has contributed and influenced enhanced designs across many core mobile platform screens, including core experiences which are beginning to ship to users such as enhanced dashboard, tablet, and progress views. The Open edX mobile design file has been designed to allow community members across providers to contribute directly and view the current status of all ongoing current and proposed Open edX mobile design work. Marta has exemplified the cross-organizational open design approach that differentiates open-source design, often bringing projects back to multiple rounds of open UX/UI-focused mobile design review sessions to ensure all community concerns are addressed and all variants considered.
Specific features/references to Marta’s work on the Open edX Mobile project include:
- Mobile Commerce v2.0 WooCommerce Integration
- Enhanced SSO/social auth screens
- Tablet adaptation / layout updates for mobile screens (and additional work on dashboard tablet layout and responsive/autolayout prototyping)
I hope you’ll all support adding Marta to the Core Contributor team of UX/UI designers.
