Yana Barysheva

Thoughtful, easy-going, full-stack designer

Full-stack?

I’m a generalist with over a decade of experience in tech, start-ups, and media, and feel equally at home in all phases of the product lifecycle, from user research to UI design. Thus, to borrow a term from engineering: full-stack.

Value driven

Behind my views, actions, and approach to design are a set of guiding principles: integrity, empathy, compassion, kindness, understanding, and an open mind.

Multidisciplinary

In addition to being a UX and product designer, I am an artist and a writer. I don’t always get around to those things, but I did recently write a cookbook! Read more.

A few case studies
