Designer.
Researcher.
Mentor.

Portrait of Elvira Hellenpárt, chin resting on her hand, against a pale grey-blue wall.

I'm a UX designer with 6+ years of experience in complex B2B/B2G and SaaS products, working across research, strategy and design.

At Unite, I'm building the first Journey Management framework and bringing continuous user research into how product decisions get made. Before that, I redesigned the core journeys of a 25-year-old marketplace — from day-to-day purchasing to the administrative structures behind it.

Earlier projects took me to a sustainability training app for factory workers in India and China, and to LEE, a mentoring app for queer youth. Both were built for people whose needs are easy to overlook, and both shaped how I think about accessibility and inclusive design.

Alongside my design work, I mentored aspiring UX designers at CareerFoundry. I'm passionate about sharing my knowledge and helping others develop the skills and confidence to find their own path into UX.

Before design, I worked in digital marketing — a lot of metrics, a lot of reporting on what people did, without really being able to ask them why. That gap is what moved me into UX.

§ How I Work

Three things that shape how I work.

01

Understand the problem before designing it.

Briefs rarely tell the whole story. I use research to understand what people are trying to do, where they struggle, and which problem is actually worth solving.

02

Design for the people who are easy to overlook.

Accessibility and inclusion are not separate considerations. They shape who can use a product in the first place. I pay attention to the needs that standard flows and assumptions tend to miss.

03

Test it before building it.

I test assumptions and ideas early, using the method that best fits the question. Sometimes testing improves a solution; sometimes it shows that we should not build it at all.
