👋 Hi there!
I’m Nadya, a dynamic Product Designer with a unique journey from Belarus to the Bay Area. Passionate about creating exceptional products, I specialize in transforming complex challenges into intuitive, user-friendly experiences.

📚 My path in design has been unconventional. After earning a degree in economics and working as an office manager at an IT company, I discovered my passion for UI/UX design through company-offered courses. I spent a year gaining hands-on experience in design before moving to Chicago, where I further honed my skills at DesignLab UX Academy, focusing on user research, wireframing, prototyping, and usability testing.

🚀 After finishing the course, I landed an internship at Tynker. Six months later, they offered me a full-time job, where I worked for almost five years.

👾 At Tynker, I focused on crafting inspiring and empowering learning experiences for future coders, ensuring that the products I design are not only visually appealing but also highly functional and aligned with user needs and business goals.

💟 When I'm not working, you’ll find me walking my dog, baking, exercising, or exploring new hiking trails. If you’re interested in collaborating or just want to connect, please feel free to get in touch.
