Biography
Principal Product Designer / Founding Designer @ styblova.com
—
As Head of Design, Head of Product and Founder across 10+ startups (2 acquired), I have intimate experience with launching cross-platform scalable web and mobile apps in various states of pre-seed, investment cycles, and even acquisitions, with a keen eye on iteration, cross-team process and communication, and well-exercised design and product thinking.
I've helped build experiences for folks like Thrive Global, Hulu, Expa, Imperative, Infor, GE, Tourneau + fledgling startups just getting started. I lead design teams, help define product strategy, and work with engineers to execute scalable and accessible products, with teeth sharpened by NYC fashion houses + agencies and companies in Silicon Valley.
I help with pivots, scaling, re-branding, user research/testing, and product roadmaps to successfully launch beautifully polished UI, UX and brand aesthetic.
