Hello, I am Olga, a Lead Product Designer with the strong UX focus and more than 18 years of experience, based in London. I've worked on the projects requiring end-to-end design support from 0 to launch, as well as developing new features for existing products and migrating products to new technologies.

My experience as a designer commenced back in 2007 when I started my second degree in graphic and web design and joined an agency to learn the skills. Since then I’ve been working with the top class world-renowned brands such as Shell, Vanguard, FT, Google, Shazam and Apple.

I love combining qualitative research with data driven insights to achieve success in solving design and business problems. Best environment for me is Agile with integrated lean UX practice. I believe that user-centred design techniques bring massive value to the businesses and I am a strong evangelist of applying them.

Olga is known for her creative, organisational and problem-solving skills. She is recognised by getting things done and finding win-win solutions for users, business and environment. Olga is concerned about health and well-being of herself, humanity, animal, plants and the planet we live on.

I've been mentoring and supporting designers inside and outside my teams and inspired a few to change their careers and move to a Product design role.

I am practising to be a good public speaker and so far I did a 10-minute lightning talk at the ‘UX in the City’ conference in Manchester in 2018 and 1 hour hands-on workshop at the ‘Agile in the City’ conference in London in 2019. At ‘Agile in the City’ I met in person Jeff Gothelf who wrote amazing books ‘Lean UX’ (that is a Bible for UXers these days) and ‘Sense & Respond’ which I highly recommend to read.
