👋 say hi

time.

Anastasiia Fortune is a product designer and mentor. Born in Russia, living in NYC. Shaping digital experiences that make our lives easier. One feature at a time.

As an engineer of digital experiences, I believe in the power of intentional and human-centric design. I believe in thorough research. Rigorous systems. And being transparent, strategic, and empathetic, with design solutions.

To quote Tanner Christensen:
“What can often make a product experience so impactful is the work those who created put into it. To build something in such a thoughtful way that makes anyone oblivious to the fact.”
