About me
Hello there! My name is Darya Petrushina. For the past 5 years, I’ve been designing digital products, following an earlier career in financial analysis. I’ve grown from freelancing and working at a small design studio to becoming part of one of the largest fintech design teams in the country.
In my work,
I dive deep into the business context and feel comfortable taking end-to-end ownership of a problem — from exploring different approaches and discussing them with the team to presenting and defending solutions to stakeholders and taking them through to launch.
Alongside my work,
I mentor junior designers, helping them build portfolios, develop product thinking, and explore design concepts. I enjoy sharing my experience and seeing people grow in their careers.
Outside of work,
I’m learning new languages and playing piano. I also love traveling and often combine my trips with concerts by my favorite artists. Music and travel help me stay curious and switch perspectives.
