About me

I’m Irina, a designer based in Pasadena, CA, specializing in UX/UI, product, and visual design. I create human‑centered digital experiences for both B2B and B2C products—spanning mobile apps, websites, and branding systems.


I’ve worked across tech, fintech, and e‑commerce, collaborating with cross‑functional teams to turn complex ideas into clear, functional solutions.


Beyond client work, I contribute to the Pasadena tech community through Innovate Pasadena, supporting local events with branding, and a variety of visual assets.


Good design, for me, is not just seen—it’s felt.
