Description

Hi there 👋 I'm Olga, a Senior Product Designer with 15+ years of experience designing complex platforms, SaaS products, and AI-enabled tools. I specialise in turning ambiguous, data-heavy problem spaces into clear product logic, scalable UX architecture, and interfaces that real teams can build and ship.

I work best on projects where the challenge isn't just UI, it's figuring out the system: information architecture, multi-step workflows, role and permission logic, and operational efficiency. My recent work spans creator platforms, internal media operations tools, public-sector data products, and UN-partner portals.

What I bring to a project: end-to-end ownership from discovery through QA/UAT, close collaboration with engineers and PMs, and a practical focus on reducing friction and preventing quality issues early.

Currently available for short-term engagements (1–3 months), and open to longer partnerships on the right projects.

• · MVP release stage
• • MVP launch ownership: Owned end-to-end design for the MVP, defining core product logic, mapping journeys, and supporting the engineering team through QA/UAT to ship a polished release.
• • AI Builder (shipping in MVP): Designed and delivered a working builder flow where creators can turn a prompt into a structured, editable draft and move it through a draft-to publish lifecycle. Built and tested with the team; not a concept.
• • Monetisation & rewards as a core system: Architected gifting and rewards logic (digital, physical, wallet-based) to support engagement and participation incentives across the platform.
• • Earning beyond creators: Designed platform-issued and system-issued reward scenarios tied to user actions (e.g., social posts) and completed activities (e.g., workouts/events), supporting repeat usage and motivation loops.
• • Community operations & permissions: Built multi-role community infrastructure, including member and coach management, invitations, and permissioned workflows to support team based delivery and controlled access.

Internal platforms & media operations
• • DAM platform evolution: Transformed the internal Digital Asset Management system from a storage tool into a multi-feature hub used by about 90% of the company, improving how teams find, reuse, and manage media assets.
• • Workflow optimisation: Reworked the "Compilation Maker" tool, reducing compilation creation time from about 10 minutes to 10-16 seconds, increasing output by about 30x (up to 677 compilations/day).
• • Quality control automation: Introduced TechSpec Manager to standardise media uploads by validating video/audio/image specs against templates and flagging mismatches early, reducing repetitive manual checks and preventing downstream rework.

• • Data storytelling for mixed audiences: Designed dashboards that turn complex statistical datasets into clear, navigable insights for policy makers, analysts, and the general public.
• • UN-partner portals: Contributed to a modular design system and reusable data-visualisation module used across multiple UN-partner portals where ongoing reporting dashboards are required.
