About Me

Hi, I’m Violanta. My journey into product design began in the quiet countryside of Ukraine, where I spent summers painting the serene landscapes of my grandfather’s village. Those moments, filled with the gentle encouragement of my grandfather, sparked a lifelong passion for art and design that’s shaped who I am today.

For the past 5 years, I’ve been immersed in the fast-paced world of business operations at a leading data and technology company. It’s here that I discovered my love for turning complex systems into user-friendly experiences. Whether it’s leading platform implementations or optimizing software systems, I’ve always aimed to make technology work better for people—efforts that have contributed to significant revenue growth along the way.

My true passion lies in understanding how people interact with technology. That’s why I’ve transitioned my focus toward UX/UI design, where I can combine my operational expertise with a deep understanding of human behavior, backed by thorough research and usability testing. I’m dedicated to crafting AI-driven products that aren’t just functional, but that also connect with users on a human level, driving both engagement and business success.

Outside of work, I draw inspiration from the simple joys that color my days—like savoring a lavender matcha at a cozy coffee shop, hunting for treasures in whimsical vintage stores, or spending a peaceful afternoon with my family in nature.

I also find joy in exploring vegan soul food spots, revisiting my favorite art museums, and restoring our 1897 home. These experiences fuel my creativity and keep my design work vibrant, inclusive, and deeply human.
