</aside>

I’m an experienced Product Designer with over 10 years in the IT industry, now focusing on Project and Product Management. Throughout my career, I’ve led cross-functional teams to design and deliver innovative digital products that not only resonate with users but also achieve business goals.

My approach blends creative design thinking with efficient project execution, allowing me to bridge the gap between design, development, and business strategy. From conceptualizing user-centric designs to managing product roadmaps and ensuring on-time delivery, I bring a holistic perspective to every project. I thrive in environments that require both creative solutions and effective project management to drive success.

I've had the privilege of working across industries like SaaS, e-commerce, media, and fashion. I also founded and led Uttu, a fashion brand inspired by Azerbaijani heritage, where I was involved in everything from product design and manufacturing to branding, marketing, and e-commerce. As part of Uttu’s relaunch in 2025, I focused on modernizing designs, improving manufacturing, creating a new online platform, and developing a content strategy to drive growth.

Currently, I'm working towards my PMP and CAPM certifications, and I’m excited to apply my design expertise and project management skills to lead teams and deliver impactful results.

I’m a big believer in teamwork and collaboration, and I love creating an environment where everyone’s strengths are used to bring the best product to life.
