I am a UX/UI Designer with a diverse design background. Born in Russia, I have been living in Germany for the past two years. I began my professional journey as an Industrial Designer at Art. Lebedev Studio, primarily focusing on designing smart home devices. In this role, I shaped not only the external aesthetics but also crafted user experiences and usage scenarios.

My journey continued at The Walt Disney Company, where I refined my creative and managerial skills as a Product Development Manager and Creative Designer. Specializing in identifying growth opportunities within products, I successfully developed and brought products to market. Working with diverse target audiences helped me fine-tune my approach to connect effectively with each group.

These experiences have strengthened my passion for thoughtful, user-centered design. I value structured problem-solving, attention to detail, and a consistent, hands-on approach throughout the design process.
