“Design is so simple, that’s why it’s so complicated.”

Meet me, a BI Consultant with a Master’s degree in Telecommunications Engineering from Politecnico di Milano. Having lived in Macedonia and Italy, I am now enjoying the Viennese life.
With a couple of years of experience as a Consultant in different industries, I bring a unique perspective of the intersection of tech, business and design. My true passions are both Power BI and UX Design, and I find immense joy in combining these two fields to create data visualisations that are not only effective in conveying information but also user-friendly and impactful.
When I’m not working magic with data, I can be found exploring the world, picking up new languages, doing yoga, and immersing myself in great books. I am excited to embark on new ventures, connect with like-minded individuals, and make a meaningful impact in the world of data and design.
Next up will be Tracy Boggiano who as a mentor can help Elena. This is what she will talk about:-
