Hi! I'm a product designer from Kyiv, Ukraine.

Currently I'm working on monetization AI experiments communication tools at Preply, a tutoring marketplace for language learning. A while ago, I also did design and product work for companies from food, delivery, and fashion industries.

In my spare time I like to tinker with code, build side projects and learn more about the intersection of AI x design.
