Alina has systemic knowledge and a real flair for visual design. At the same time, she is ready to go through different variants of solutions in search of the best one.”

“Alina amazed me with how quickly she got involved and immediately provided results. She was always proactive and asked me questions if something needed clarification. Alina is a rare case when designer simultaneously thinks about user convenience and keeps in mind the limitations of business and technology.”
