I am a User Experience & Product Designer who loves music, fashion, and all cute things!
I was born and raised in New Jersey by two Ukrainian parents before moving to Rochester, New York for my undergraduate degree. I graduated summa cum laude with a Human-Centered Computing Major with Web Development and Psychology Minor from the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT). My interests are always used as a foundation to my designs, making technology more personable and fun.
After graduation, I interned at QuidelOrtho as a User Experience Design Intern and found a new appreciation for medical and healthcare systems. This led to my position as a Quality Assurance Analyst at Continual Care Solutions, an application that aids nonprofits in all of their processes.
When I’m not building products, I’m chasing playful ideas: from flea markets and radio waves with The Lucky Flea and WSVA Radio, to co-founding a merchandising studio called Okio (@fromokio) with my cohort member Ana, to developing Cool Dogs, a blind-box collectible all about surprise and delight.
Now, I currently am a Products of Design Master's student at the School of Visual Arts in NYC. I want to take my knowledge and skills and apply them to products that reach people in their everyday lives.
