Follow the inspiring Russian Refugee’s Design Journey in Poland, where resilience and creativity merge. Discover how overcoming challenges led to a new career path and sense of belonging.
Leaving behind the chaos of war and political unrest, many Russian citizens sought refuge in neighboring countries. Among them is Liliia Dmitrieva, whose journey from Russia to Poland is a testament to resilience and transformation.
Arriving in Poland amidst closed borders and grounded flights, Liliia faced the daunting challenge of rebuilding their life from scratch. Inspired by their passion for the arts and painting, Liliia found solace and renewed inspiration after a career in project management. It was in this pursuit that Liliia discovered a new calling—a path in design.
Joining CodeYourPath‘s Mentoring program, Liliia embarked on a journey of self-discovery and growth. Guided by mentors like Anisha Absolom, Liliia delved deep into the world of UX/UI design, gaining invaluable skills and insights along the way.
“Special thanks to my mentor, Anisha, who has extensive design experience and could inspire and support me. This was very important on the project because I took the courses without a mentor, and it was a completely different experience. Thanks to the training, I completed and understood the UX/UI stages,”
says Liliia.
But CodeYourPath was more than just a program; it was a community and a home away from home. In Poland, amidst exploring new cities, attending exhibitions, and seeking inspiration, Liliia found a sense of belonging and purpose. Poland became more than just a destination; it became a sanctuary where creativity flourished, and dreams took root. Liliia also finds solace and expression in photography, painting, design, and sketching.
Now, as one of CodeYourPath’s graduates, Liliia is ready to embark on a career in the IT sector as a UX/UI designer.
