I never planned to become a designer. Growing up in western Ukraine, I was surrounded by creativity but held back by my own insecurities. I chose law for its logic, and it taught me how to think critically, but it lacked the human connection I was looking for.

At some point, I discovered UX/UI design and got the chance to work at a small branding company, where I learned how to collaborate and bring ideas to life with a great team. After moving to Canada, I found the confidence to start over, and when I began studying UX/UI design more deeply at Humber Polytechnic, everything just clicked—I finally felt like I’d found my path.

I’m an easygoing person who loves meeting new people and having chats. Traveling is a big part of my life—Berlin is my favourite place for its light shows and amazing people.

What I can do

What I can do

Main focus

UX/UI design

Research is at the core of my design process. I gather insights through methods like surveys, heuristic evaluations, personas, empathy maps, and competitive analysis—but I'm not limited to these. Every project is unique, so I focus on its specific challenges and goals—defining the problem, generating ideas, and exploring solutions. I then wireframe, create low-fidelity structures, and develop the final prototype with a focus on usability and design. Throughout, I test and iterate, refining until satisfied with the outcome.

What I use

Tools

I mainly use Figma for its powerful collaborative features, making working with teams in real-time easy. I’m comfortable with Adobe Creative Suite — including Illustrator, After Effects, Photoshop, and Premiere Pro, allowing me to work across branding, motion design, and content creation. I build interactive prototypes with Framer and do light front-end work in VS Code. For project management and research, I use Trello, Jira, Maze, and more.

Other skills

What else

I come from a mix of design backgrounds, including graphic design, motion, and a bit of front-end, which makes me a flexible and adaptable designer. As a Multimedia Design & Development grad, I’ve worked on everything from UI design and motion graphics to experimental work like projection mapping. I enjoy switching things up and finding new ways to solve problems. Being hands-on and curious keeps me exploring what else I can create or learn.
