Hi there!
Originally from Ukraine, I was curious about art and then the design from my childhood - I built my first website at the age of 10 using sites constructor.
What I love about this work is observing how people interact with interfaces. There's something fascinating about what makes an interaction feel intuitive, and I love being the person who gets to shape that. I care a lot about craft and visuals - I think it shapes the experience long before a user even starts interacting with the product.
Over 4 years I've worked across a broad range of product types - social platforms, fintech, fitness apps, government platforms - moving between real-time, engagement-driven experiences and more structured, high-stakes systems. I like that range: it means adapting my approach to what the product actually needs, rather than applying the same playbook everywhere.
Outside the work I draw, explore niche perfumery and do yoga.
