I’m a UX/UI designer with a strong creative background. I graduated from a theatre university with a focus on directing and acting, and studied under a director who was directly connected to Stanislavski. Through this experience, I gained a deep understanding of human behavior and psychology, which I now apply in my work with user experience and interfaces. Before moving into design, I worked as a fashion photographer, which developed my sense of aesthetics and attention to visual details. I’m an ambivert, a calm, observant, and empathetic person with strong inner motivation. I value aesthetics, personal growth, and a balanced, steady pace of life. In my free time, I enjoy drawing, reflecting, and playing computer games. Right now, I’m in a phase of finding balance and building a more meaningful and stable life, as well as surrounding myself with people who share a drive for growth and development. I have experience working as a UX/UI designer on international and fintech projects, including work with large companies such as JTI. I’ve contributed to products like invoicing applications and rollout solutions, where I worked on user flows, interface logic, and end-to-end design in Figma. I focus on structuring complex flows into clear and usable interfaces and collaborate with teams to bring designs to production. Currently, I’m working on an AI-powered assistant product focused on helping users with posing. In this project, I’m responsible for designing the user experience, defining interaction logic, and creating a clear and engaging interface for an AI-driven product.
