UI System Foundations
An independent Figma-to-code UI system study translated into a responsive component library, demonstrating reusable foundations, visual consistency and developer-ready handoff thinking.
Hi, I’m Açelya Lejeune. I am a UX/UI Designer with around 15 years of experience in visual communication, branding, graphic design and digital design. Over the years, I have worked on a wide range of creative and digital projects, developing a strong sense of layout, typography, color, visual hierarchy and clear digital communication.
A design background shaped across countries I started my career in Antalya and continued working with agencies, print studios and creative projects in Northern Cyprus, England and Belgium. This international path shaped the way I approach design: with attention to clarity, adaptability, visual detail and the needs of different audiences.
Expanding design into frontend and AI applications After many years in design, I decided to deepen my technical skills and completed a two-year Frontend Developer programme in Liège, Belgium. During this training and through my portfolio projects, I worked with Angular, React, TypeScript, JavaScript, PHP, MySQL, Python and Flask.
Today, I combine my visual design background with frontend development skills to create clear, responsive and realistic digital interfaces. My work focuses on UX/UI design, SCSS, responsive layouts, UI integration, CMS-based projects, Git/GitHub workflows and the foundations of AI-powered application development.
This portfolio presents selected projects that bring together my background in UX/UI, visual design and frontend development. It includes interface projects, frontend builds and a UI system study that shows how I structure reusable interface foundations before moving into implementation.
My work combines visual clarity, structured layouts, usability, frontend integration and practical application logic. Some projects focus on interface design and responsive implementation, while others include backend interaction, CMS workflows, component thinking or the foundations of AI-assisted digital products.

I bring together a long design background with frontend development skills to create clear, responsive and visually consistent digital experiences. My work sits between design and implementation: from visual direction and UI layouts to SCSS styling, frontend integration and CMS-based web projects.
Designing clean, structured and visually coherent web pages with attention to layout, typography, color and brand consistency.
Creating user-friendly interface layouts, visual systems and screen designs that are clear, accessible and easy to navigate.
Using my graphic design experience to create strong visual identities, digital assets and polished communication materials.
Building and refining responsive interfaces with HTML, CSS, SCSS, JavaScript, PHP and CMS workflows, with a strong eye for design details.
For small product screens, responsive UI improvements and Figma-to-code support, I have a dedicated page with a clearer view of how I can help.
