About me

I’m a senior product designer with 8 years of experience crafting data-informed, user-centric products. I specialize in complex workflows and have led design initiatives at Snap Inc., digital agencies, and software companies.

My name is Yuliia, but I go by Yu Yonder for my digital identity. Yu" is the first two letters of my name. "Yonder" means over there, in the direction shown β€” and it captures something true about how I work and live: an honest pull toward the unknown, whether that's a new country, a new medium, or a product category that doesn't exist yet 🧭
