It’s Women’s Wednesday at SimScale: Get to Know Viktoriya

Another week, another Women’s Wednesday! In this series, we want to put SimScale’s women into the spotlight and share their achievements, challenges, and excitements. In today’s edition, we would like to introduce Viktoriya, who is part of our Design Team. She joined SimScale in December 2021 as a Graphic Designer.

What is your role? What do you do?

I’m a graphic designer in the SimScale Design team. I create all the necessary visual content.

What is your background?

I’m Russian but was born in Kazakhstan. I lived in St. Petersburg for 6 years, then I lived in Georgia for 10 months, and now I am in Munich. I have a lot of experience in advertising, but this is my first job in a product-based company.

What brought you to SimScale?

Luck? Not really counting on anything (due to too much competition), I applied for the job and got a completely unexpected invitation for an interview from my future design lead.

What has been your biggest accomplishment at SimScale?

It's hard to name one thing. Probably the overall fact that I changed my area of work and coped.

What are you proud of?

I’m proud of being part of such a great international team with such a useful product.

Biggest challenge?

Five meetings a day in my first or second week at SimScale. Of course, I mixed up the links and was sitting all alone, while the rest were waiting for me on another call.

What excites you?

Cartoons, dogs (especially the big ones), traveling, snowboarding, and making illustrations.

What makes you you?

Dark humor, the ability to laugh even at the worst situations that have happened to me, empathy for animals, and a terrible panic about anything, which I skilfully conceal.

What do people value about you?

Hard to say, but I guess that I am a good friend, delicate, and funny.

Thank you for sharing, Viktoriya!
