I'm Darja /dar-yah/

— a product designer who genuinely loves the messy middle of design — the part where a fuzzy user problem slowly turns into something that actually ships and works. I spent last year and a half at Productboard, where I designed the core experiences that help product teams make sense of their data. Before that, I spent over three years at Pipedrive, where the work I led contributed $8M in additional ARR. Numbers are great, but what I'm really chasing is the moment a product clicks for the person using it.

I work best at the intersection of research, systems thinking, and cross-functional collaboration.

And lately, I've been leaning into AI and code to prototype faster and keep handoffs painless. Oh and I'm also an occasional hackathon medalist (twice, for AI stuff, not that I'm counting).
