about

I'm a UX/UI Designer with experience specializing in creating intuitive and impactful digital experiences. My background spans various industries, including big data and cloud computing, and I have recent experience in AI & ML platforms. I excel in designing user-centered solutions, from initial concept to final implementation.

​

Throughout my design career, I have had the opportunity to work on both the marketing and service product teams. I've led the UX design team for the past six years at NTT Data, a global client services company. We work with clients worldwide to develop innovative solutions. My expertise lies in designing real-time dashboards that effectively visualize data, including predictive models and machine learning insights. I'm skilled in user research, information architecture, prototyping, and creating design systems that guide developers. My work at NTT Data has included projects such as site surveys, traffic monitoring systems, security dashboards, and health screening tools, all of which involve processing and visualizing data from various sources, including CCTV and sensors."

​

Beyond my professional experience,  I'm a passionate artist with a background in teaching art at a Russian college. I create oil & watercolor paintings. I've won many awards, and my work has been exhibited extensively. Art continues to be a significant part of my life.

 

I'm a lifelong learner who practices daily meditation & mindfulness and enjoys traveling to sacred sites. I also have a deep love for animals.
