About
For nearly a decade, I've been designing and building high-performing design teams while tackling complex, tech-heavy products. Since 2016, I’ve collaborated with ML teams, beginning with Yandex's voice recognition and synthesis technologies. My projects span search, analytics, and marketplaces, seamlessly bridging the gap between business, technology, and human-centric design.
I leverage behavioral design and science to transform design culture and elevate the quality of tech products. I thrive on diverse design challenges and enjoy working with creative teams of all sizes.
In my free time, I advise AI-first startups and mentor early-career design managers on establishing robust design functions and building processes that drive business success.
