- Optimizing existing flows and conceptualizing new ones to simplify user experiences.
- Ensuring user needs align seamlessly with business goals.

- Collaborating closely with the product team from ideation to final delivery, refining details to achieve the best results.
- Partnering with developers to bring designs to life with accuracy and consistency.
- Maintaining and managing the design system to ensure visual and functional consistency across products.
- Leveraging expertise in Figma for UI design and prototyping, and Whimsical for wireframing. Proficient in Webflow for website creation.

In short, my role is to ensure that our platforms not only look exceptional but also deliver meaningful, user-centered experiences that drive results.
Read my CVWhat do my colleagues say about me?
"First and foremost she is a great lovely person and colleague! I had the pleasure of working with her for over two years and it was by far the smoothest product-design/dev collaboration experience. Not because we had the same point of view but because she is always prepared and has strong reasoning behind her work, and on the other hand ready to listen for feedback and quickly adapts. We were lucky to have her on the team!"
"Marina is hardworking, always ready to face challenging projects, curious, and open for learning and advancing, without fear of the unknown. Very neat in design, she approaches projects with understanding and logic, readily accepting any criticism she uses to improve in her profession. Moreover, she is a good person always ready to help."
"I have had the pleasure of working with Marina for over 3.5 years, during which she evolved from a very talented visual designer to an exceptional all-in-one product designer. She deeply cares about her work and is the perfect problem-solver, regardless of the project’s scale. Marina takes pride in her work and welcomes critical feedback, always focused on improving the next iteration. Moreover, she is a wonderful person to have on your team. She is ego-free, compassionate, and understanding at all times. I sincerely hope to work with Marina again and am confident she will have a very long and successful career. Her next company should consider themselves very lucky."
