Olga is one of the best designers with whom I have had the pleasure to work. Despite working on a small team, Olga was able to accomplish big things. She architected, designed, wireframed, and created our Design System, UX and UI on her own, and she was always improving our user experience. Olga is hardworking, diligent, self-directed and creative, and very knowledgeable about all aspects of user experience design, particularly crafting usable and efficient interaction designs. Her skills reach beyond just design, as her work is always rooted in research (user research, psychological/design research, competitor behavior, and best practices). She employs data to make informed decisions, takes all suggestions into account as her designs evolve, and strongly advocates for the user. Olga explains principles for designing a good user experience, gives examples of user-centered design applied to real life examples, and shows how to design good user experiences across devices. Everyone becomes more user-centric when working with Olga. Olga does fantastic work under less-than-ideal circumstances: rapid pace, lack of clear direction, and constantly shifting priorities. She is a team player who is willing to help on any project, and the outcomes are always better when she’s involved. Olga inspires everyone around her with her passion for design and user experience. I’ve witnessed what she can do firsthand, and I recommend her without hesitation.

I had the pleasure to work next to Olga in several projects. She is a very skillful designer with clear strategies to resolve problems and apply a solid design process. She has extended knowledge and experience using design software. As a person, she is kind, tolerant and very respectful of other ideas. She provides constructive criticism helping teams to develop better ideas.
