My Journey

How I became a designer

Originally from Ukraine, I came to Canada as an exchange student↗ at the University of Toronto, and studied simultaneously at two universities.

My creative journey began with completing a free design course, then followed by winning an educational grant for web design bootcamp from Projector Institute↗. This course reaffirmed my passion in design.

Since then, I got diverse experiences, including working in a design studio, collaborating with Ukrainian start-up, creating UX design project at UofT and being a design intern at RBC↗ and theScore↗.
