Tanya Donska

Embedded design partner for teams who’ve outgrown duct-tape UX but aren’t quite ready for a bloated design department. I help founders, PMs and the occasional stressed-out marketer get their product into shape — fast, quietly, and without starting another design trend no one asked for.

Selected to join the international Awwwards jury — a group of designers from Google, Apple, and other top teams — to review, score, and critique the best digital product and website submissions from around the world. Still one of my favourite ways to see what’s next in design — and what’s already outdated.
