Oksana Plechii

Product Designer
UX/UI Designer

My multidisciplinary background gives me a unique perspective on design. With a degree in sociology, I have a strong foundation in user research and behavioral analysis. My artistic education led me to graphic design, which evolved into UX/UI. I’ve also worked in roles beyond design—event management and business operations—which help me understand product development from multiple angles.

solutions

Discover

I research user needs, business goals, and market trends through interviews, competitor analysis, and data insights. This helps identify key pain points and opportunities for improvement.

  • Conduct user interviews
  • Perform competitive analysis
  • Analyze user behavior and pain points
  • Review analytics and data trends
  • Conduct surveys and focus groups
  • Identify market opportunities

Define

I synthesize findings into user personas, journey maps, and problem statements to align the team. This ensures a clear direction for design and development.

  • Create user personas
  • Develop user journeys and experience maps
  • Define key pain points and opportunities
  • Prioritize features and solutions
  • Write problem statements
  • Align with stakeholders on project goals

Develop

I create wireframes, prototypes, and test concepts with users to refine solutions. Collaborating with designers and developers, I iterate until we achieve the best user experience.

  • Sketch wireframes and low-fidelity prototypes
  • Conduct design brainstorming sessions
  • Develop interactive prototypes
  • Test concepts with users
  • Iterate based on feedback
  • Collaborate with developers for feasibility checks

Deliver

I finalize high-fidelity designs, document details, and work closely with developers for smooth implementation. Post-launch, I monitor performance and optimize based on user feedback.

  • Create high-fidelity UI designs
  • Document and refine the design system
  • Work closely with developers for implementation
  • Conduct usability testing on final designs
  • Ensure accessibility and responsiveness
  • Monitor post-launch performance and improvements
