Mariya was candid about the challenges of developing a series of VR videos. But, her tough love comes with a great sense of humor and experience to back up her advice! Very much appreciate the opportunity to ask questions.

My call with Mariya was exactly what I was hoping for. She was very focused, took time to understand my situation and provided experienced insight and tailored responses to the questions I prepared for her. She was honest enough to give me answers I probably didn't want to hear, but needed to. Will be calling her again soon.

I reached out to Mariya as a way to understand her perspective on the career field of UX. She is absolutely impressive. I found her feedback to be honest, sincere and passionate. She also provided me with a highly organized set of suggestions (which are awesome) to consider for my early stage startup. I’ve been refining my concept based on our discussion. I highly recommend Mariya and cannot wait to reach out to her again!!

As always, Mariya's tips for mobile app design were both strategic and practical. She gave very structured advice on how to build successful mobile apps and test out mobile app ideas without coding. I would definitely recommend her to anyone building or thinking of creating a mobile app for enterprise or for startups. Call Mariya. You will not regret it.

My conversation with Mariya was absolutely amazing. I came in with some need to get advice about UX recommendations for a promotional website and a mobile app, and I got that and a whole lot more in terms of great, honest (but not harsh) advice about how to really structure my business for long-term sustainability and financial success. I will absolutely seek Mariya's help again and cannot recommend her highly enough to others!

I have been knowing Mariya for a while when she was a startup founder at StartX, the Stanford startup accelerator. As a UX consultant, Mariya is smart, creative and knowledgeable. In a few minutes she's able to grasp any type of business and deliver precise design and UX recommendations for a successful mobile strategy. I highly recommend her.

Mariya is awesome to work with on mobile-related consulting projects. She is the first person I turn to for user experience, product development and design because she has incredible insight into usability, functionality and general mobile trends. We worked together on a project for a Chinese smartphone app developer that was looking to enter the US market. She provided incredible feedback, direction and a first version of wireframes for the product. Throughout the project, she was available, open, quick to respond and a general pleasure to work with. I look forward to continuing to work with Mariya on other projects in the future!
