My name is Olesia and I’m a Product designer always following her curiosity and creative spirit.
I’m curious by nature and love understanding how things work. Putting myself in the shoes of others has always come natural to me, because of that changing my career focus to Experience Design just made sense!
However, before discovering Product Design I was a Optician and artist. Below you’ll find a little bit of my past and the skills that helped form the designer I am today.

I'm a UX designer passionate about all the details that go into turning an idea into reality. My time in the optical industry has taught me the value of empathy, interpersonal skills and problem-solving skills that I utilize as a UX designer.
One of the my strengths as a UX Designer is the ability to thoroughly understand the user, and the underlying meaning of their frustrations, expressed through their words/actions.This comes about by digging deep and being open to all possibilities that may lead to different paths and/or patterns to get to one’s final conclusion.
I really enjoy the process of trying to understand users. There’s a plethora of different ways to view things, as well as finding the best way to enhance the user experience, to said user’s benefit.

Composition
As an Artist , I love to create pet portraits fun. I have great communication skills which helps me understand what my clients want and needs are. As a painter, I work with clients to complete a piece of artwork that matches the client's vision and desire. I am able to convey ideas and listen to clients wants and needs similar to UX design you need to meets the need of the client and also meet the needs of the business so its profitable.
I also have great interpersonal skills I greet people and ask personal questions in order to help them decide on the perfect pet portraits. Through this in the process people find me to be personable which leads them to becoming regular customers of mine.
I understanding the elements and techniques that contribute to creating aesthetically pleasing artwork. Similar to UI design a process of designing and building interfaces in software by focusing on looks or style. Designers aim to create interfaces which users find easy to use and pleasurable. Same goes for painters creating an art piece that’s applying to the eye. With using Aesthetics which include colors, shapes, shadows, angles and other design elements that help create a painting.
Below are some painting I did as well as logo designs I worked on with a couple of clients.

I love to travel with friends and family to explore new destinations. I enjoy sightseeing, and learning about/experiencing different cultures, food, and new languages. While traveling I’m always letting my curiosity lead me to my new destinations, such as Disney land, Los Angeles , Los Vegas, Florida , Miami and many more places to see ! Now being a traveler isn’t always the easiest because you have to plan and organize your time appropriately . Unfortunately, sometime plans don’t always go the way your want them. I have high adaptably skills of dealing with may difficult situations such as flight delays to wrong turns and unexpected circumstances. In the difficult situations I stay positive, despite the challenge in front of me and problem solve effectively and quickly with a short time constraint.

As a anime North volunteer I help out with general events around the convention. I help to keep an eye on line ups by direct traffic lines into the convection centre and verifying registration/tickets with team mates. As well keeping an eye in the video game rooms and assist anyone who needs help to find a location or event.
Animal Lover
My whole life, I have been an avid animal lover at heart. I thought I wanted to be a vet, until I realized that I prefer volunteering instead. I volunteer at an animal shelter, AVA (Action Volunteer for Animals), to help take care of animals, transport ailing cats to the vet, and occasionally help foster some kitties. I also collaborate with other volunteers to help brainstorm fundraising ideas, and attend/operate fundraising events.
Right now I have two lovely tabby cats there names are Lucky is 7 years old and Lexi is 2 years old. I originally was fostering Lexi for 3 month and closer to the day of binging her back to the adoption center. It turned out my family feel in love her, so now she is apart of my family. I love dogs as well but the place I live dose not allow dogs , but I do plan to adopt a dog when I live in different home settings and add will add some images of a new family member !
