Hi, I'm Olga. I design products and brand experiences — bridging problem solving, strategy, and a love for visual craft.
I like the messy, ambiguous problems and the work of shaping strategy through design. 10+ years in product, eight of them in fintech, banking, and highly regulated industries, turning complex, high-stakes requirements into experiences people actually trust.

Just some kind words from leaders & collaborators I've had the pleasure of working with.
Michelle Prichard
Comms Project Manager @ PNNL
"I had the pleasure of working directly with Olga within Gesa Credit Union's marketing department for four years. Olga is highly skilled as both a designer and a project manager, and I have witnessed her lead internal problem-solving efforts that involve multiple departments and leadership positions across the Credit Union. Olga attacks problems head-on and consistently acts as an advocate for increased functionality and clarity for Gesa's membership across a variety of digital banking and communication channels."
Otto Grajeda
Senior Designer @ Discover
"...What stood out most was Olga's adaptability. She ramped up fast, asked smart questions, and consistently delivered thoughtful design iterations that elevated the work. Her problem-solving approach is strategic, structured, and rooted in user needs, yet she brings a level of creativity that pushes the final product further than expected. Any team looking for a UX designer who can merge innovation with practical execution will benefit from having Olga on board."
Claire Wilkerson
Communications & Advertising Manager @ Kinecta
"Among her many talents, Olga is a thoughtful and curious professional. I had the opportunity to work with Olga on several projects and her natural desire to deeply understand the work pushed all of us to be more engaged and produce higher quality work. She has an amazing ability to see the big picture and how everything fits together while still remaining detail-oriented. Olga would make an excellent asset to any organization."
