//TESTIMONIALS
Matteo Petruzzellis
Head of Online Department,
wolford
«Very eager to learn, Yulia grew very quickly from the generic graphic / web designer role into a much more specialized UX/UI professional, able to conceptualize and craft effective digital products.
As the only designer in the Online Dept, she brilliantly took ownership of most web graphics production for all locales across the EMEA and US markets.
Thanks to her unique personality, she contributed to the fun we enjoyed in the very diverse, very multicultural team we had, and got the trust and respect of everyone.
She’s also a strong photographer, with great taste and an excellent sense of visual composition.»
