About
Designer. Storyteller. Problem Solver.
I’m Julia Riabova — a UI/UX and presentation designer with a background in theatre and 3+ years of hands-on experience. I design for web and mobile with a focus on clarity, emotion, and user impact.
Currently, I work at Reply, a consulting firm, where I design B2B digital products for clients across the German market — from automotive to pharma. My experience spans both B2B and B2C sectors, allowing me to adapt to different user needs and business goals with ease.
Before transitioning into tech, I worked in the theatre world — not just on stage, but behind the scenes as a digital lead. I managed theatre projects, led presentations to stakeholders, and collaborated closely with designers and developers to bring digital concepts to life. That mix of storytelling, strategy, and cross-functional teamwork still shapes the way I design today.
