Hi, my name is Olivia Dumnicka.
I'm a product designer, strategist and marketer.
Currently based in Berlin.
Focus
My mission as a designer is to forge joyful connections between brands and users. Making UX be at the heart of a brand's service and identity.

In my free time, I work on personal ventures (checkout swai.social) and mentor aspiring product designers.
