KeyPrinciples
“For me, design is about problem solving, communicating an objective, and helping people.
I believe that everything you can imagine is possible when you have clearly defined goals, strong design, strategy and assemble a talented team.”

Space Needle
Karen Olson, Chief Marketing Officer
Olha and her team began work on the updated Space Needle mobile app with rigorous testing of various design paradigms and interviews with actual Space Needle visitors on-site. The greatly improved app experience resulted in a 20% increase in app usage within the first month alone. We are immensely impressed with Olha’s work and contributions to this project and look forward to a continued and long-lasting collaboration.

Based on Olha’s reputation and her own award-winning work at various distinguished companies she was asked to serve as a DEV Challenge jury panel member in the Design category for the 2020 and 2021 editions of our competition. Olha is herself a former winner at this competition.
Olha was invited to judge at DEV Challenge and to serve as a mentor at the IBA Regional Hackathon due to her undeniable expertise in the field, her years of experience, and her extraordinary achievements as one of Ukraine’s absolute top UX/UI and product designers.

Olga is one of the smartest designers I have ever worked with. One of her outstanding skills as a designer is that she is a great listener. She will take client requirements and expertly solve complex problems. She can take her vast design experience and combine it with technology to come up with fantastic designs on point, and on time. Her many award winning designs speak for her talent and process.
Netrix
Oleg Martynenko
Beyond her extraordinary talent and ability as a designer and design director, Olha has played a pivotal role in cementing Netrix Digital’s corporate and creative culture. She has led and implemented a design philosophy that is centered on taking the time to understand our clients’ goals and adopt them as our own, working closely with them to ensure our high-performance design workflows accomplish everything that our clients are aiming for – and more. The success of the projects led Olha is also a result of her ability to guide the design work to achieve measurable and actual business goals for our clients.

Olga was lovely to work with. She is incredibly creative and logical in her approach which made our UI/UX process very fun to work though. Communication was a breeze as well — I can’t recommend her enough.

I can be useful for designers who have just started their career to conduct a portfolio review, and give self-development advice; and for experienced designers who have reached a certain stage in their career and do not know where to go next. And for those who want to become design managers.
