Hello Again!
I’m an Associate Product Designer based in NYC. Over the past 2 years, I’ve worked closely with product managers and engineers to design thoughtful, user-centered solutions for real-world products.
I’m particularly drawn to research and synthesis -understanding how people think, where friction lives, and how small design decisions influence behavior at scale.
Before transitioning into design, I supported executive leadership, which shaped how I approach product work today. It taught me to think in terms of priorities, trade-offs, and long-term impact. I design with structure and clarity, balancing user needs with business realities.

Hello Again!
I’m an Associate Product Designer based in NYC. Over the past 2 years, I’ve worked closely with product managers and engineers to design thoughtful, user-centered solutions for real-world products.
I’m particularly drawn to research and synthesis - understanding how people think, where friction lives, and how small design decisions influence behavior at scale.
Before transitioning into design, I supported executive leadership. While assisting a CEO, I was regularly exposed to product decisions and design discussions. I began contributing interface ideas, exploring early concepts, and gradually transitioned into a formal design role.
That experience shaped how I approach product work today, thinking in terms of priorities, trade-offs, and long-term impact. I design with structure and clarity, balancing user needs with business realities.
How I Contribute to a Team
Clarifying the problem
I ask structured questions early to align on scope, constraints, and success metrics before moving into solutions.
Making research actionable
I synthesize findings into concrete product decisions, not just insights.
Balancing Trade-offs
I consider technical feasibility and business goals alongside usability.
Iterating with feedback
I share work early and often, treating critique as a design tool rather than a checkpoint.

Multilingual Perspective
Growing up in Ukraine, I developed a love for learning languages. I now speak Ukrainian, English, Polish, and Russian, and currently learning French. Navigating between languages shaped how I think about clarity, nuance, and the way words influence understanding.
Learning Through New Experiences
Exploring new environments - whether traveling or hiking in national parks - keeps me observant and adaptable. That mindset helps me approach unfamiliar product problems with curiosity and thoughtful structure.
Teaching & Mindful Practice
On some weekends, I teach Pilates and maintain a regular yoga and meditation practice. Teaching strengthened my ability to truly listen - noticing hesitation, confusion, and unspoken needs. I bring that attentiveness into user interviews, usability testing, and iterative design.
