Hi, I’m Maxx. Ukrainian Digital Designer living in Lisbon. I help create brand & digital experiences for planet-friendly projects. Have been working in the design industry for over a decade.

In my senior year of undergrad at The University of Texas at Austin, I had just gotten accepted to my top choice pharmacy school after years of hard work and dedication. Although I had always excelled in my STEM major, I was involved in numerous design organizations on campus. 

I quickly realized that my knack for solving complex problems and eye for aesthetics made the field of UX Design a perfect fit, and the rest was history. I left the compounding lab and pills for Figma and sticky notes and have never looked back.

Today, I give back to the community by mentoring junior designers and students to help them land their dream job in the field. Outside of my 9-5, you can find me at your local coffee shop sipping a pistachio iced latte, or whizzing away at the pottery wheel. I run a freelance photography business on the side that specializes in lifestyle and portraiture.
