Hello there,
my name is Olga.

I love editorial and product design.

My journey

I’m a Product Designer, currently based in Barcelona, though I come from St.Petersburg, Russia. I came to Barcelona to study my Master Degree in Editorial Design and prior to that I’ve been working in various creative agencies as a graphic designer, focusing on corporate editorial design. And before that I studied Fine Arts and Graphic Design.

So, I came to Product Design from a background in Graphic and Editorial Design, which gives me a strong understanding of visual design and attention to detail. I was driven to designing digital experiences because I felt excited about the challenges and the depth this field provides. Product design is something far beyond beautiful typography or precisely aligned pixels. It includes deep learning about people’s goals, drivers and desires, which I was missing during my graphic design times. I´m constantly inspired by having opportunity to help people solve problems and make their lives easier. Three main components of product design I love the most or want to focus in the future: Design Systems, Accessibility, Design Ops.

Design principles

  • Balance pace and perfection

  • Going beyond moving pixels in Figma, proactive participation on the strategic level

  • Putting user first

  • Helping business goals stay in line with user’s needs

  • Accessibility advocation

  • Failing is important
