Hey there! I’m Vika, a linguistics and social sciences enthusiast turned researcher, with a keen interest in exploring gender diversity in cryptocurrency-focused communities.
When I'm not diving deep into academic research, I express my creativity through design and visual branding. My recent focus has been on UI/UX design, where I'm constantly learning and growing (well, almost every day!). I’ve co-founded and actively contribute to several Web3 projects, including PORTERS, a decentralised RPC Network on the POKT Network, and WID3+, a decentralised identity bridge. Additionally, I have some marketing & community management skills acquired through running a social media & design startup.
Outside of work, you can often find me doing yoga, shooting on my analogue camera, listening to podcasts (mainly on psychology, post-capitalism and AI), or petting every cat I meet on the streets.
I had the pleasure of attending my first hackathon during ETH Prague 2023, where I won the Solarpunk Award for Social Impact. I was responsible for the branding and UI/UX of the project Stake for Impact. Earlier this year, I also participated in the Base Hackathon in Berlin, where our project, FrameFluence, was among the top winners.
