Hi! I’m Sofiia 👋
I design complex, high-consideration digital experiences. Through research, systems thinking, and cross-functional collaboration, I turn ambiguity into clear product direction and intuitive customer journeys. I guide design from problem framing through delivery, aligning user needs with business goals. My background in linguistics and beauty shaped how I work with people: listening closely, understanding individual needs, and building trust through attention and care. Outside of work, you’ll find me skiing and hiking in the Rockies.

“One of the most notable examples is her involvement on the Nissan & Infiniti Config project. Sofiia jumped on to support and helped to build out wireframes for some complex flows. She very quickly figured out a process and how to work with other disciplines, asking for their input while coming to the table with multiple well-thought-out solutions. She proved to be a valued and trusted team member, building out documentation that has supported numerous teams throughout the project.” — Director of User Experience
