About me

Hi, I'm Valeria, but you can also call me Lera, a product designer originally from Russia, now living in New York City for the past 8 years. I'm bilingual and a green card holder. Outside of design, I enjoy photography, pilates, traveling, and spending time with my 5-year-old yorkie, Teddy.

I have a degree in management and marketing, and years of experience in logistics, merchandising, and customer service. This background helped me develop a strong attention to detail and a passion for creating designs that put the user first. I’m a quick learner and enjoy finding practical solutions in fast-paced environments.

My interest in UX/UI design grew from my love of how design can make things easier and more enjoyable for people. I started applying my management skills to improve digital experiences, and that led me to pursue design as a career. Now, I focus on creating products that are simple, easy to use, and look great.

With a strong eye for detail and a good understanding of both design and business, I'm committed to creating solutions that are both functional and visually appealing.
