Hey there,
I'm Misha!
I’m a designer with 6 years of experience across product strategy, product design, and research, including 4 years as an entrepreneur and 2 years working at a 0→1 startup. I began my career as the quiet, artsy kid at the back of the classroom, constantly doodling in my books.
My combined passions for art, a desire to explore, and psychology brought me here, in a position where I can demystify the everyday problems of users and empower them with delightful experiences and solutions. I love diving into why and how people use things and furthering those experiences to make them memorable.
I am now looking for a full-time employment.
