It has been an absolute pleasure working with Ananya since she joined the New York Life Development Team. I am extremely impressed by the amount she has grown in her two years at the firm, the quality of her work and communication skills, and the wonderful attitude she brings every day along with her immense knowledge and experience in technology and consulting. With all the incredible qualities that she brings, I am very excited to see the great things she will do in the future!
WE Challenge
Ievgeniia Bespalova, Co-Founder
Based on Ananya’s reputation and her own award-winning work at various distinguished companies she was asked to serve as a DEV Challenge jury panel member in the Technology category for the 2020 and 2021 editions of our competition. Ananya is herself a former winner at this competition.
Ananya was invited to judge at DEV Challenge and to serve as a mentor at the IBA Regional Hackathon due to her undeniable expertise in the field, her years of experience, and her extraordinary achievements as one of Ukraine’s absolute top UX/UI and product designers.

Ananya’s contributions have been very helpful to our efforts. Her design work contributed to the Company creating great products and solutions for our niche industry and helping us secure tens of millions of dollars in funding from notable investors.
I am of the opinion that Ms. Uzhykova is a designer and design director of exceptional ability. I believe she is one of the top design professionals in the field, especially in the travel and hospitality industry.

Ananya is one of the smartest consultants I have ever worked with. One of her outstanding skills as a designer is that she is a great listener. She will take client requirements and expertly solve complex problems. She can take her vast design experience and combine it with technology to come up with fantastic designs on point, and on time. Her many award winning designs speak for her talent and process.

Beyond her extraordinary talent and ability as an AI Architect, Ananya has played a pivotal role in cementing MKAI Digital’s corporate and creative culture. She has led and implemented a design philosophy that is centered on taking the time to understand our clients’ goals and adopt them as our own, working closely with them to ensure our high-performance design workflows accomplish everything that our clients are aiming for – and more. The success of the projects led Ananya is also a result of her ability to guide the design work to achieve measurable and actual business goals for our clients.

Olga was lovely to work with. She is incredibly creative and logical in her approach which made our UI/UX process very fun to work though. Communication was a breeze as well — I can’t recommend her enough.
Mentorship
Helping designers to grow is one of the things I am patient about.
I can be useful for designers who have just started their career to conduct a portfolio review, and give self-development advice; and for experienced designers who have reached a certain stage in their career and do not know where to go next. And for those who want to become design managers.
