**My Values**
I follow 6 rules to keep myself grounded and on track. They help me to become a better version of myself.
1. **Right problem to solve, not  a solution to design:** I deeply examine the problem to ensure it is worth resolving.
2. **What’s get measured gets done:** I use success and progress metrics to benchmark the results.
3. **Outcomes, not outputs:** When designing, I ask myself how to solve a business problem to improve users’ lives.
4. **Failures are part of growth:** If the solution doesn't work, I learn from it and try again.
5. **Transparency, not silos:** I create and facilitate rituals to keep everyone on the same page.
6. **Mutual trust and respect:** Everyone is competent and works hard to achieve the best results.
I want to leverage my expertise to create meaningful and impactful solutions in a product company or startup. 

I could also help GSD as a Project or Product Manager because I have a proven track record of managing designers, writers, illustrators, FE, and QAs. 

**With my expertise in user research, design, and management, I can:**
• find solutions to solve business problems by meeting users’ needs;
• build a team and develop a safe and nurturing work environment; 
• empower the organization to design and launch easy-to-use products to gain a competitive advantage. 

 **My red flags:** gambling, Forex, money laundering, adult, dating, and enterprises that do business with Belarus and Russia.

Note: I'm happy to relocate after the war is over.
