I'm a happy hybrid designer — interaction and visual — with a strong focus on rapid prototyping and passion for innovative technologies. As a design lead, I've worked in cross-functional multidisciplinary teams for the past 10+ years. I grew up in Kyiv, Ukraine. Winning an international product and design competition by Intel gave me a chance to receive a "1 extraordinary abilities in UX" visa and move to California to work as a Senior Product Designer — extreme, no Alien. I love expanding and sharing my knowledge. My determination to learn the best practices in Research and Human-Centered design led me to Nielsen Norman school and Cooper Design Leadership courses. When not at work you can find me hiking (and sometimes riding) my 2 motorcycles.
