I'm a Product Designer with 7+ years of experience

I’m a passionate Product Designer who loves exploring both the world and human psychology — not only through design but also through travel (I even have a blog about it!). I speak English, Hebrew, and Russian fluently, and I’m on a 650+ day streak learning French on Duolingo.

Outside of work, you’ll find me hiking, diving, camping, playing tennis, or snowboarding.
