Hi there! I’m Julia.
I'm a Ukrainian with half English family in Cyprus that lives in Winnipeg, Canada.
Currently, I'm working as a fully remote Product Designer at a cosy design agency called Forge Studio . Previously, I was working as a sole designer at Simila Cyprus tourist company in Paphos, Cyprus.
Before the pandemic, I travelled a lot in Europe and Asia. I love cultural differences, photography and nature. I also volunteered for a few years as a photographer at the International Children’s Heart Foundation from Memphis, TN.
Now I'm getting used to Canadian winters and all the beauty around me. View my LinkedIn profile to learn more about my professional career. Follow me on Twitter and Instagram for random thoughts and pictures from my travels or get in touch.
Outside of work, I’m a seeker of adventure, a hiker, a taker of photographs, and a cracker of jokes. I love to balance my professional and personal life so that every moment will bring me joy. Interested in meditation and yoga, which help to view challenges in life from different perspectives.
At work, as a product designer in a design agency, I'm working on many projects at a high-speed pace. I like the diversity of the projects, but sometimes I'm missing the opportunity to see their growth. I'm working with founders, stakeholders, project managers and engineering teams on a variety of projects from mobile apps to platforms and responsive web. I like to use Loom and Slack in my daily flows as these tools help me communicate with others more precise and asynchronously.
