Hi,

I'm Viktoriia

A designer

With 4 years of experience, I ask the necessary (and sometimes the difficult questions) to create brands and products that focus on and prioritize people

lives by design

About Me

I'm Viktoriia Ponomarova, a passionate designer with 4 years of experience and a Master of Arts degree. My approach combines strategic thinking with creative execution to solve complex problems.

I believe in asking the right questions—sometimes the difficult ones—to understand what users truly need. This philosophy drives me to create products that don't just look good, but genuinely improve people's lives.

My design process is collaborative and human-centered. I work closely with stakeholders to ensure every decision is grounded in real user insights and business objectives.
