My experience includes work on corporate and e-commerce projects with clients from construction, furniture, legal, and IT industries. I have excellent computer skills in Office 2013, Axure RP, Adobe Photoshop, project management and mind mapping tools. Also, I also have basic knowledge of Adobe Illustrator, Adobe InDesign, HTML, CSS, WordPress and Google Analytics.

“I hired Svetlana as a Junior UX Designer. But she learned so rapidly, that she’s became a Senior UX Designer in just two years. Svetlana has demonstrated a penchant for deep analysis and systematisation, effective independent work and strong desire for professional development.

Svetlana is a great team player and a high potential employee. I’m very sorry that she had to leave our team. Svetlana has my highest recommendation.”– Alexey Shishkin, CEO – Redsoft.ru

“I had the pleasure of working side-by-side with Svetlana on multiple projects in Redsoft web agency during 2014 and 2015. Together we took on some challenges in Russian e-commerce designing experiences for various web stores and services, negotiating with clients, managing our developer teams, and testing the final products. Svetlana is a thorough interviewer, an audacious user’s advocate, and a reliable team player. I truly enjoyed working with her and would love to do it again. She would be an invaluable asset to any team with a focus on UX, and I highly recommend her.”– Michael Freeze, UX Researcher – Sberbank Technologies
