Hello, I’m Mischa, a NYC based Senior UX Designer

I am currently serving as a Senior UX Designer for Walmart operating within Omni Services. I am also the Founder and the Director of Design of The Breath ™, a Meditation and Breathwork App available for iOS and Android. Formerly I was a Lead Product Designer at Wells Fargo, Director of UX at Alison, Co-Founder at Dash Beyond (acquired by Alison, Mar 2021), and UX Manager at Consumer Reports. I also have an 800 HR certification in Jivamukti Yoga™ , training in restorative yoga, breathwork, and meditation.

My expertise lies in creating a product end-to-end. I excel in owning all aspects of the design process including user research, branding, visual design, style guides, UI, and creative direction for illustration/photography, user testing, and Agile Project Management. As a former entrepreneur, I'm not afraid of wearing many hats. I have facilitated a number of design sprints and product strategy workshops that involve team members from all departments to collaborate on solutions.

I enjoy envisioning a product roadmap that leads to a sustainable business model by focusing on user retention, maximizing conversions & growth. I follow a build, measure, learn loop -measuring qualitative and quantitative data to iterate. I've also managed diverse design teams (remote & in-person) while nurturing talent. I am a team player and lifelong learner with excellent communication skills who thrives in an environment where I am challenged to solve new problems.
