Inclusivity, Collaboration, and Systems Thinking at the Forefront
Slavic Stasyuk
/sla-vik stay-shook/I am currently a Staff Product Designer at Shopify in Portland, OR.
I am an end-to-end designer who loves exploring challenging problems with data, questions, and holistic solutions. I am a graduate of the University of Washington and have grown in the design and product field for over a decade. I’ve developed extensive experience working with interdisciplinary teams across the world. Having worked as a consultant, freelancer, embedded and in-house team member I am experienced in cross-collaboration. I have learned to lead, manage, and build design teams that are curious and tackle hard problems.
I am always pushing myself to learn something new and to grow. I can get lost in the great outdoors, trying new food from a new country, or a good book with a good cup of Ethiopian coffee nearby.
I excel at:
- I am a forward-thinking problem solver, quick study, self-starter, and excellent communicator with a passion for great design with attention to detail down to the very last pixel.
- Relentless desire for innovation on behalf of the customer while being able to prioritize based on business objectives
- Experience working with cross-functional teams — including design, content, SMEs, product, business, and engineering — to provide focus and priority for new features
- Skilled at mentoring and developing junior members on the team
- Responsible for guiding the design development from initial ideation, through rapid iteration, to pixel-perfect implementation.
- I posses a rare blend of interaction design, user research, visual design, and prototyping skills.
- Communicate the user experience at various stages of the design process with wireframes, flow diagrams, storyboards, mockups, and/or high fidelity prototypes.
- Integrate user feedback and business requirements into ongoing product experience updates.
- Advocate for the prioritization of design centered changes, refinements, and improvements.
- Practice user-centered design by participating in user research and incorporating data, customer feedback, and technical constraints/opportunities.
