Hi, I’m Lena, a product designer living in Amsterdam, Netherlands. I’m originally from Russia and love creating tools that make life easier for developers and teams.

Currently, I’m designing products at JetBrains.

Before that, I spent six years as the Head of Design at CleverPumpkin, where I led the development of mobile applications for a variety of industries.

I graduated from ITMO University with a degree in Information Technology in Design. I’m always curious, eager to learn new tools, and passionate about creating better experiences for users.

Outside of work, I enjoy discovering new places, attending music festivals, and capturing inspiration from the vibrant energy of different cultures.
