Education

Master's degree, Accounting and Business Management 2013 - 2018

State University of Trade and Economics in Kiev

Throughout my academic journey, I studied economics at both macro and micro levels, delving into topics ranging from Keynesian theory to financial analysis of companies. I actively participated in conferences, collaborated on diverse projects, and conducted in-depth analysis of the financial results of wholesale enterprises for my diploma. Along the way, I discovered joy in psychology classes and lectures on human behavior, as well as honing my skills in enhancing presentations and bringing dry topics to life. Years later, I discovered a natural alignment between my passions and product design. Reflecting on my journey, I realize how fortunate I am that my background equipped me with analytical thinking, attention to detail, and a problem-solving approach. My experience in financial analysis seamlessly translated into excelling in UX research, while my understanding of business management, coupled with insights into user needs, guides me in crafting intuitive yet impactful solutions.

Work & Experience

Lead Product Designer

Planck

04/01/2019

Collaborated with stakeholders and cross-functional teams to build a complex AI-driven web platform. My role was to lead the design process: from the initial concept and extensive UX research, to handing off designs to developers and monitoring usage after launch. The outcomes were a significant boost in the sales process, securing new contracts, and increased usage among existing customers. I also contributed to a successful marketing campaign by redesigning and rebuilding the main website (www.planckdata.com) and creating marketing materials for the conference.
