Oksana Plechii

UX Practice Lead
Senior Product Designer
AI-Driven Designer

My path into product design wasn’t linear. Sociology taught me to look beyond what people say and understand the motivations, behaviors, and systems behind their decisions. Graphic design developed my visual sensitivity, while experience in event management and business operations taught me how to coordinate people, navigate constraints, and turn ideas into real outcomes.Today, this multidisciplinary background helps me approach products from several perspectives at once: user, business, design, and team. I’m especially drawn to complex challenges where clarity, structure, and strong collaboration can create meaningful change.
