Polina in a few words

My main focus is mostly on product design and Branding.
Combining the two creates visual holistic storytelling between the user experience and their expectations and feelings towards the brand.
Collaboration to me is very important, whether it is with designers, developers, product managers, or any coworkers, a good approach to feedback and communication makes a better product.
The services I provide are creative and art direction, mentoring, designing products and brands from start to finish, and creating complex design systems to be used across platforms by different stakeholders.

We hired Polina to help us with the rebranding of Testberichte.de. In a very short time (just over six months), she helped us redesign the entire brand and implemented it in collaboration with our internal designers on-site and off-site. Polina is passionate about good design and has a very clear idea of what the right and appropriate solutions are. She is always able to justify them convincingly. At the same time she is pragmatic and hands-on and always ready to go the extra mile. If you want real change and fast implementation, Polina is the right person for you. I will hire her again immediately when the opportunity arises.
