Here are some recommendations from people I had the pleasure of working with -
Bursting with energy and ideas that's Ira for you :)
Ira and I worked on some complex UX writing projects together. She's extremely enthusiastic about everything, and tends to work in a systematic way by breaking down the tasks at hand. She's very good at spotting UX problems and presenting an effective, easy solution to fix them. Not only is she a fantastic UX writer with an eye for detail, but she's also a great facilitator and communicator. Definitely an asset to every team, she loves having tonnes to do, and takes every UX writing task as a challenge. Anyone who gets to work with Ira is super lucky, and I sure hope I get to work with her again!

Head of marketing Tutu
Ekaterina Dolgikh
If you're looking for an exceptional UX writing leader, I highly recommend Irina!
When I invited Irina to the company, there were no established processes for working with text, no structured collaboration with UX writers, and no defined Tone of Voice. In less than a year, she not only built and united a strong team of UX writers but also established a clear workflow for interface text. Additionally, she took the lead—together with the marketing team—on shaping the company’s Tone of Voice.
Irina has outstanding leadership skills, deep empathy, and the ability to foster collaboration. She’s a true professional who can drive impactful changes!

Ira changes the game daily as a super-talented team leader. She always finds new ways to improve processes and structure the workflow, but at the same time, she never loses the inspiration that keeps her team motivated. Ira is the unique combination of a rational thinker, a constant improver, and an empathetic, creative mind.
PMM & Lifecycle Manager Yandex
Ksenia Vityuk
Ira is one of the greatest mentors I've ever met, not to mention her UX writing channel, which I've been reading religiously for months. The first moment you see her, you understand she's in love with her profession, and she generously shares that love with her trainees.
She helped me sort through my portfolio and gave me very useful tips about how to improve it. My confidence went through the roof after our session. Ira really made me believe in myself, and my job search stopped looking so scary. I hope to have a boss like Ira one day))
