About Me
Hi, I'm Olha Novikova, a designer and graduate student at NC State University, with a passion for Ukraine, government, and design education. Over the past six years, I’ve had the privilege of designing identity elements, websites, and printed materials for individuals, businesses, and NGOs worldwide.
I believe that great design is about more than aesthetics—it’s about preventing and solving problems, helping people live happier, more fulfilled lives.
When I’m not designing, I’m off camping, immersed in video games, or writing paper letters to friends. I find joy in connecting with strangers during my travels, and I can never resist a bowl of Ukrainian cherry dumplings.
