I’m a designer based in Riga, Latvia.

My background started with participating in various projects and building my own startup, which ultimately led me to transition into design. Perhaps that's why my previous design lead described me as "very goal-oriented".

Over the years, I’ve worn many hats to better understand both product and design. We as designers need to know when to zoom out to see the bigger picture and when to dive into the details. It’s about turning complex ideas into simple, beautiful solutions.

As product designers, we are generalists, and over the years, I’ve worn many hats to better understand both products and design. We need to know when to zoom out for the bigger picture and when to dive into the details.

We must collaborate with developers, copywriters, marketing, and business teams to achieve a shared goal—addressing business needs and solving user problems.

It’s about recognizing how design systems shape the product on a global scale and collaborating closely with designers, developers, marketing, and business teams to achieve a shared goal—all while keeping users at the center of everything we do.

Design has the biggest impact for products and web pages, to achieve that we designers need to work side by side with developers, copywriters, marekting and business. At the end what matters is outcome not output.

My strongest suits as designer, I love working on complex tasks and finding simple, effective solutions and make it beautiful. We are at the point that we as designers know and understand: components, patterns, styles.
