FOSS Backstage 2025

Nina Rojc

I'm a Senior UX Designer at Canonical, the company behind Ubuntu, where I also contribute to our Open Design initiative. I began my career as a visual designer and evolved into UX, driven by a passion for solving complex problems and creating impactful user experiences. With over 10 years of experience spanning startups to enterprises, I’ve tackled diverse challenges across industries like hospitality, behavioral data, and compliance and risk management. Beyond design, I’m a curious human who loves exploring new ideas and making a positive impact.
