ABOUT ME

I’ve been designing since 2016.

Over the years, I’ve worked across UX, UI, Visual, and Product Design in the US and Russia, with projects ranging from US companies to Japanese corporations. My work has ranged from digital products and e-commerce to global brands and enterprise teams.

Today, I work with Gap Inc. through HCLTech, designing digital experiences across the US Loyalty Program, product testing and experimentation.

I’ve always been curious about people – why we make certain choices, how culture shapes behavior, and what happens when different perspectives meet. That curiosity eventually led me to coaching. Over the past year, I’ve studied professional coaching at Erickson Coaching International, focusing on listening, asking better questions, understanding what drives people, and helping people find their own way forward. I’ve completed the program and am continuing my development through mentorship.

Design is what I do.

People are what I’m curious about.
