Hi, I'm Oana
A UX/Product Designer leader with 14+ years of experience, ex-UX Manager at Grafana Labs, currently working as a Lead Product Designer for Trace.Space
I bring to my work my passion for functional design and my understanding of human behaviour. My approach combines user-centred design principles with robust user research and user testing, focusing on delivering trustworthy, accessible, and user-friendly solutions.
I have over 13 years of experience in UX Design, User Research, Product Design, Design Systems, DesignOps, Design QA, mentoring and people management, working for Enterprise SaaS, Open-Source Developer Tools, Fintech, Legaltech and E-commerce companies.
With my combination of design and leadership experience, I am confident in my ability to drive results and lead high-performing teams.

If you got to this point...
I'm proficient in HTML & CSS, allowing me to create usable prototypes
I have a passion for teaching and mentoring others, as evidenced by my prior experience teaching a UX course for two generations of students and providing guidance to product professionals seeking to enhance their skills.
Three years ago, I established a local community exclusively for women in the fields of UX, CX, and UI
I am committed to participating in the complete product lifecycle, engaging with all stakeholders, and adhering to and contributing to the overall business strategy. I firmly believe that a successful team or product needs more than a robust design process; it requires exceptional internal organization and communication, and the ability to encourage diverse perspectives while fostering trust.
