I came into product design from a different path, which shaped how I work with people, tools, and messy processes. Since then, I've been designing, testing, and learning as a full-time product designer, focused on clarity and making things work better.

I've lived in different parts of the world, and each place added new perspectives on culture and human behavior.

Before design, I spent over a decade teaching English, interpreting, and managing a language center. That work sharpened my communication skills and taught me how to untangle complex processes.

Now I'm experimenting with AI to shape my own app, starting side projects like cookbooks and zines, traveling, taking photos, and collecting little details that spark new ideas.

I was born in the late '80s in the USSR, a country that no longer exists on the map but still lingers in my passport.

Ever since I was a little girl I knew I wanted to be on the computer a lot!
