1. One of my big important tasks as a UX/UI designer was to create a design system from scratch for the whole project, manage it, approve with all the stakeholders, including constant collaboration with developers. As a result, we have created a well-structured design system for the project in Figma, which I presented to all team members and it was eventually used by all members of the development and design teams. Another task of mine was to onboard new designers into the design system.

2. One of the interesting tasks for me as a Product Designer of news media product was to devise a way to personalize news recommendations for users based on their interests, in order to increase engagement and reduce bounce rates. With the team, we categorized all news articles and implemented filtering options. This functionality allowed us to increase the number of active platform users and decrease the bounce rate.  

3.  I have been involved in web platform creation, conducting a series of user interviews with my colleague, the Lead Product Designer, to create user personas. I also assisted in usability testing the initial design versions of the platform. I have also developed several designs for core functionality, which continue to attract hundreds of users every month. 

4. During the blackout in 2022 in Ukraine, our mega team managed to develop and deliver a big feature on prod. It aimed to attract new users and subscribers in social media. Despite the electricity and power supply issues, we successfully completed the project within the agreed-upon timeframe. We received thousands of positive reviews from the community, gained 450+ followers on Twitter, and had over 4,000 unique pageviews on the developed page. Additionally, we increased retention by 15%. I am extremely proud of the team because it was a very stressful period for everyone, but we handled it exceptionally well and became stronger in every sense, regardless of the challenges we faced.
Hello! I started as a junior UX designer in esports media company. I worked in Axure RP a lot to prepare the high-fidelity interactive prototypes of the new features, including complex admin panels. Then, thanks to the support of my great mentor I jumped into UX/UI design. My responsibilities included gathering requirements from all stakeholders for tasks, creating wireframes, aligning the structure, designing the interface, synchronizing with developers on functionality, and presenting solutions to the team. 

When the company was divided into separate products, I took on the role of a Product Designer and became responsible for the news media product on the platform. My responsibilities included supporting and developing new functionality for the product. Task execution involved collecting quantitative and qualitative data through tools like Google Analytics, user interviews, and usability testing.

In the new product, I work as a Product Designer. My responsibilities include conducting CX activities, analyzing quantitative data, prototyping solutions, designing mobile-first functionality for the web-platform, performing usability testing, delivering them to production, and collecting results of the functionality using tools like Google Analytics and Hotjar.

In addition to Product Design, my current responsibilities also encompass overseeing the product development roadmap and managing a team consisting of 4 developers and 1 graphic designer to ensure the successful delivery of the product.

Looking ahead, I aim to further develop my skills as a data-driven Product Designer, gaining more experience in designing complex systems and products, as well as designing mobile apps and mobile-first web interfaces.
I thoroughly enjoy working with a result-oriented team. I value a friendly and supportive atmosphere within the team, mutual assistance, and engaging tasks. It is beneficial when the product has a well-established analytics system, and designers actively interact with it.

I have a strong desire to constantly learn and grow, which is why challenges do not intimidate me; rather, they intrigue me. I firmly believe, based on my past experiences, that with a great team, anything is possible.
