Hi, I’m Natasha—nice to meet you!
I’m a self-motivated, reliable, and curious UX designer with a strong sense of ownership and a passion for solving complex problems. Whether I’m collaborating in a team or working independently, I bring energy, creativity, and a positive mindset to everything I do.
With a blend of creative vision, analytical thinking, technical knowledge, and empathy for users, I design experiences that are not only intuitive and inclusive but also aligned with business strategy. I thrive on new challenges and take pride in delivering thoughtful, accessible, and consistent design solutions that make a meaningful impact.
