Service & UX/UI Designer

Hi! I’m Katja!

Helsinki-based Service & UX/UI designer with an engineering background and 2 years of experience in both corporate tech and a small design studio. My successful redesign of a product at Wärtsilä led to a boost in user numbers and satisfaction. I am comfortable with challenges and excel in environments that emphasize trust, ownership and continuous improvement.

Welcome to my site!

"I have experience as a Service Designer and UX/UI Designer across multiple projects, focusing on enhancing user experience and driving adoption rates.

Through these projects, I have developed a strong ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams, apply user-centered design principles, and deliver impactful solutions that improve user engagement and satisfaction.

Being an enthusiastic UI/UX designer, I possess the ability to transform innovative ideas and concepts into tangible solutions for client-centered design projects.

I am deeply motivated to make a substantial impact and deliver meaningful value to clients through my designs. I thrive on opportunities that offer a high level of responsibility and the chance to engage in work that fosters my professional development and growth."

“Ekaterina has been working as a UX designer in our product innovation team, creating UI prototypes and collecting customer feedback by means of interviews. Ekaterina has completed tasks given to her with good quality and speed. She understands the value of collecting customer feedback on product concepts and has done several interviews. I can recommend her for similar tasks and would happily work with her again."

"Ekaterina did a pre-study to a project in my Service Portfolio focusing on usability, user adaption and related action planning. Results of the pre-study were convincing and well formulated giving a clear understanding of underlying challenges and directions of actions to be taken.

Ekaterina is a skilled and hard-working employee, good colleague and easy to work with. She is able to quickly dive into large and complex matters and build effective collaboration networks to find and process needed information."
