I was born and raised in Saint-Petersburg, and got an Electrical Engineering degree there. However, I quickly understood that I would like to persue design, and applied for Umeå School of Design in Sweden where I finished a program called Advanced Design Visualisation.
In my free time, I like travelling, rock climbing with my husband and friends, surfing when I'm on the ocean, repairing old furniture, and learning ceramics. I also love learning languages and have just started learning Portugese.
I am staying curious and always looking for ways to challenge and improve myself, which is why in my spare time I like to enroll in short courses, listen to podcasts & watch videos about product design, psychology, technology, and other related fields.
Great product design should be based upon data, and all product designers should be familiar with and strive for KPIs that pay into current business objectives rather than design based on someone’s opinion or feelings.
I believe that if we work together, we can achieve greater heights as humans than individually. Thus, I strive to be a great colleague and hire people who are willing to give and receive feedback and are open to learning and improving professionally.
