I’m Olena Franchuk, a product designer who thrives at the intersection of UX, data, and complex systems. I blend experience in UX research, data analysis, and industrial engineering to shape practical, system-level design that aligns usability with business needs. I enjoy turning ambiguity into clear, scalable design solutions that teams can actually ship and iterate. I’m actively exploring how AI shapes product design and workflows, and I value collaborative, iterative processes, user feedback, and delivering measurable outcomes. I thrive in environments where multi-disciplinary collaboration is the norm and where design decisions are justified by real user and business evidence.
