Hello
My name is Nastassiya
I am a UX designer who builds clean and functional web applications for business (B2B) and consumer (B2C) markets with 6+ years of combined professional experience in the field. I currently work as Senior Experience Designer EPAM Systems, a software engineering company specializing in product development, digital platform engineering, strategic business, innovation consulting, and digital and product design.
My excitement and appreciation lie in solving complicated situations by applying the best design strategy. Through my work, I hope to alleviate digital tensions and create products that will shape our future!
Expertise
My areas of focus
Product & User Research
I believe that any great product starts with a great story. Research allows us to understand better user’s lives, discover their challenges, and key product opportunities.
Product Strategy
As soon as I understand the users and their issues, I love the process of defining which software solution can solve such problems and prioritize the phasing of the features of the product.
Experience Design
My strength lies in seeing through the experience as a whole, going beyond interaction with the interface. I'm experienced in sketching, quick wireframing, and prototyping.
