My name is Teodora. 👋
I’m a Product Design Lead with international savoir-faire, currently working with the talented team at Datadog.
I am currently based in Paris. When I’m not working I’m often traveling or having fun organizing design meetups with Product Crunch & IxDA.
Previously I organized design meetups in Berlin (Product Crunch), Brussels (Creative Mornings) & Washington D.C. (AIGA).
What I love is solving problems...
While Experience Designer and Studio Lead at Goodpatch, I have enjoyed solving complex problems with product teams or clients on cross-platforms, touching the entire end-to-end product design cycle.
…using Global Empathy
I have had the luck of dissecting user interviews all over the world while working with international teams. With my mixed Romanian-American background & currently living in France, I am naturally exposed to cross-cultures.
…and my Graphic Design background
After receiving a BFA in Graphic Design, I worked for a few years in the industry before calling UX/UI Design my passion. It has taught me that great communication and hierarchy are key factors for all type of design work.
