Kate Kupetskaia is an accomplished edutech founder and UX/UI Designer with over a decade of experience and product visionary behind her startup Sova. Kate’s superpower lies in her incredible work ethic — she’s a powerhouse who works non-stop to advance the UX/UI field. While being a founder she continues to work at startups and developing her own UX/UI agency. Thus, by studying at her school, students get the latest knowledge and skills, keeping them ahead of the curve and not stuck in the past like some two-year-old textbooks.
Challenge & What Was Done:
1. Addressing Lack of Signatories:
The initial challenge was the absence of strong signatories, however, focus on Kate’s achievements and industry impact allowed us to gather the influential industry peers to support her case.
2. Navigating a Complex Professional Profile:
We had to connect her roles as founder/ UX/UI designer role in a fintech company and her agency to build a cohesive narrative that highlighted her diverse roles and demonstrated how each contributed to her overall expertise and industry impact.
Despite the initial setback, Kate was endorsed within 60 days receiving confirmation of her significant impact in the field.
Endorsement Time: 60 Days (After Endorsement review)
3. Refining the Application Post-Refusal:
Refusals might be tricky and biassed at times, to win those you have to have a bulletproof case to use the wording, numbers, strength and show them again in a rather small amount of words which we did:)
