AI is a tool that speeds up the work, but isn’t a replacement for taste. Just like peanut butter and jelly needs bread, AI acts as the bridge between an idea and reality.
"You've taken great initiative in driving our design system forward and looking for new and effective ways to streamline our design and handoff process!"
"One of the first projects Mila was assigned was extremely complex... I was very impressed with her work in order to create something that was not only visually appealing, but something that was extremely user friendly."
"One of Mila's strengths is her ability to grasp new program concepts, understand the and workflows, and channel that into detailed, clean, and eye catching UI."
"Your efforts in researching and evaluating a tool to replace Figma Dev mode is paying off. Lots to figure out still, but looks and sounds like Zeplin has a lot of advantages for multiple teams. Great job!"
"Mila has produced several innovative pieces for us and was promoted to UI Lead because of how strong her designs are."
I come from a long line of designers, so being a creative is a part of my DNA 🧬.
My career has a semi-traditional start, with some twists and turns. I graduated with my degree in graphic design and led a printing department before transitioning into Product Design. Took some pit stops at woodwork and leather crafting along the way. At each stage, I’ve encountered the same kind of challenge: the requirements aren’t fully defined, the standards weren’t established, or the existing experience needed to be rethought with both the user and craft in mind.
That background has shaped me into a product designer who thinks beyond the interface. I’m comfortable figuring out what the product should do, defining the workflow, establishing patterns and standards, and then getting into the details that make the final experience feel clear and intentional.
