Position: Senior UX/UI Designer | Product Designer
Category: Design
English level: upper
Years of experience: 8

- I was part of a team that developed a completely new platform from scratch that 15M+ individuals use now.
- I was the first product designer in Yola, so I was a pioneer in this field and worked closely with the product, design, and engineering teams to set new design processes in the company. Customer development was also implemented, so I'm very proud that I was a user advocate (as my coworkers used to say about me). 
- I help people to build their design careers by sharing relevant experiences (design mentoring is my hobby).
I'm a Senior UX/UI & Product Designer with 8+ years of experience in design. In a Product designer position, I worked closely with the product and engineering teams. I was responsible for new feature development/platform improvements from ideation to launch and post-release support and analysis. 

As co-author, in collaboration with a product team, I was: 
- taking part in defining an actionable strategy and roadmap quarterly by providing related user insights and assessment of the individual initiatives and OKRs
- developing design decisions for product growth
- supporting the product team with defining and prioritizing projects regarding the impact those would have on the users and OKRs.

My other key responsibilities were:
- customer development (conducting user research, user studies, and interviews)
- ideation (validating the ideas/selected approaches for the solutions connected to specific features/improvements)
- design (research, sketching, wireframing, UX writing, prototyping, final UI design, presentation)
- QA + development (defining design requirements and acceptance criteria for individual product stories, testing and accepting the functionality delivered by the engineering team)
- customer support (review and provide recommendations for customer support materials)
- post-release activities (feature announcement and promotion, post-release quantitative and qualitative analyses).
I'm looking for a team to work on an exciting product together, learn from, and become a better designer. I like exploring product problems and developing design solutions that solve these problems. Designing a product that brings value to the customer and company is my primary goal and a challenge, so I'm looking forward to a new one.
