👋 Hi, I'm Yulia

I am a product designer with over 8 years of experience, driven by a deep curiosity and a passion for emerging technologies. 

My motivation to pursue a career in design stems from my belief in its ability to have a profound impact on humanity. I believe that design has the power to simplify complex issues, enhance everyday experiences, and bridge the gap between technology and users.
My goal is to use design thinking to shape technology in a way that not only creates aesthetic, intuitive, and seamless experiences but also deeply resonates with customers.In my career, I have thrived in autonomous, small teams, where agility and quick ideation are key. This environment allows me to rapidly transform ideas into tangible, impactful results.
My approach is eclectic yet focused, blending design thinking, service design, lean startup methodology, business strategy, and behavioral economics. I believe in tailoring this mix to fit each unique challenge, ensuring efficiency and meaningful action in every project I undertake. 
My ultimate goal is to leverage my extensive experience and skills in design to make a significant, positive difference in people's lives through technology.​
