I’m joined by Oksana Kovalchuk, a former software developer who now leads a top UI/UX design agency. She started programming at age 5, built the largest app on the Parse platform (showcased by Mark Zuckerberg at F8), and now helps startups cut through feature bloat to create user-friendly, business-focused digital products.

In this episode, we explore:
🧠 Why critical thinking still matters in the age of AI
🧪 How UX design and testing work best when they collaborate
🤖 Where AI fits into product development and where it doesn’t
🎯 How to avoid design and development shortcuts that lead to long-term pain

Oksana connects deep technical experience with design thinking in a way that’s practical, insightful, and immediately useful. Whether you’re coding, designing, or shaping product strategy, this one’s packed with takeaways.
