About

Hello, I'm Ilona, and currently I'm building AI-powered wellness app FemEntity. In my work, I'm focusing on bridging the gap between user and business, while facilitating efficient workflows and cross-team collaboration.

I work remotely from Portugal (UTC+0) and collaborate comfortably across European and Eastern Time (ET) time zones. Ukrainian native, English Advanced, French B2, Portuguese Beginner.

I have hands-on experience across end-to-end design processes, from research and problem framing to redesign initiatives and design system development.

Always open to meaningful collaborations — let's connect!
