Marzhan Kabduakhitova

Hi! My name is Marzhana, and I am currently based in the United Arab Emirates, with previous experiences in Canada and the US. As the Product Design Lead on the founding team of a startup, I played a crucial role in establishing the design team, and processes. Notable investors, including founders and executives from Notion, Ramp, and CashApp backed our startup. Our team of 20 top-tier professionals hails from companies like Uber, CashApp, Shopify, Google, and Disney.

I studied Design and Technology at OCADU, one of the leading universities in Canada. My career has been shaped by learning from industry leaders at IMAX, Pinterest, Google, Shopify, Uber, and many more.
I have extensive remote work experience, leading 5+ Y-Combinator-backed startups and receiving offers from high-profile companies and unicorns. My clear career vision and life goals drive my dedication, enabling me to engage effectively with C-level executives to bring impactful changes to companies and users.

I am passionate about mentoring aspiring designers who are eager to make a significant impact in their careers. My ideal mentees are motivated individuals looking to hone their skills, build robust design systems, and navigate the complexities of startup environments. For example, I have helped previous mentees find the sparkle within to develop career growth and successfully lead their projects.
