My story

70bf3f44-city-2138-16514e95e36.jpg

I was born in an Eastern European city Lviv - a city of art, chocolate, coffee, and rattling trams. I was raised to enjoy music, art, holidays, respect traditions, and cherish the beauty of the world.

I graduated from Lviv Polytechnic National University, the oldest technical higher education institution in Eastern Europe. I was an active member of BEST, the Board of European Students of Technology. To gain a deep understanding of our audience, we researched different European cultures and used that knowledge to create a powerful and innovative student network.

When I moved to Shanghai, I discovered a new passion for fashion and marketing. Fashion introduced me to the world of design, and marketing taught me about the value of creating a positive user experience.

Life brought me to Austin, where I began working in one of the city's newest high-rise residential spaces. Here, interpersonal, communication, and problem-solving skills were critical aspects of the job. I learned to take a human-centered approach and provide outstanding customer service by understanding my user’s desires, needs, and pain points. This experience was an important step on my path to becoming a UX designer.

Now, it has been 10 years since I made Austin my home, with 7 years of dedicated experience in UX/product design. I enjoy painting, cooking, meeting new people, and walks around Lady Bird Lake with my dog Louie. I embrace culture and try to bring it to the designs and work I create.
