Hi there! I’m Sandra Zhovner — a Moscow-born, Detroit-schooled multidisciplinary designer. Growing up, I spent equal time drawing, coding, and dreaming of adventuring in Middle-earth. Eventually I learned that design was a pretty neat intersection of at least the first two things. Now, with a decade of experience in agency, FAANG, and startup environments, I thrive where the process gets messy, human, and real.
Currently based between San Diego and Detroit, I’m always keen to chat about my work or freelance opportunities.
