About

I’m a London-based UX designer with Eastern European roots.

I have four years of experience developing UX for IoT noise monitoring products and solutions for people working in industrial environments such as construction and manufacturing, across the UK.

Working in a start-up, I was able to gain experience in working with different teams and departments for several products, taking responsibility and supporting broad areas of activity. I was involved in all phases of the UX design lifecycle, from user research to visual design.


Design Process

Learn

  • Recognise people's problems and what we don’t know about them

  • Understand why they've problems

  • Find out what it takes to solve their problems

  • Set boundaries to solve their problems

Build

  • Develop solutions based on requirements

  • Build enough to measure and learn quickly

  • Test what we don't know if our solutions will be successful

Measure

  • Determine if our solutions have solved users' problems

  • Understand why our solutions succeeded or failed

  • Separate what we know now from what we don't know yet

  • Identify what's essential to solving their problems

  • Determine if what's essential is within the original boundaries


Design principles

Be informed

Design decisions should be based on research and data. Otherwise, we risk creating products that don't meet the real needs of users. Assuming we know what's best for users without research or data analysis is presumptuous and can very easily lead to products that don't work.

Be useful

Understand users in order to design purposefully. When you design something, you should also think about the purpose of the product, who'll use it and what you want users to do with your product. Pay attention to the context in which the product will be used.

Be considerate and inclusive

Everyone should be able to use your products safely, easily and with dignity. Involve potential users in all stages of the design process.

Be honest

Offer an experience that's clear, simple and ultimately rewarding for users.
