Summary
Iryna Ilina is a creative entrepreneur and founder-designer in Dublin who blends over 11 years of tech, project management, and travel-industry experience into a handcrafted bag brand where bold design meets pragmatic product thinking. She designs and produces unique crochet bags that are wearable art, managing end-to-end product development, e-commerce, marketing, and customer care herself. Previously a product owner and project manager, she scaled dev teams, doubled instrument downloads, and tripled organic traffic through a mix of QA, growth tactics, and content. Her background in software testing, copywriting, and tour operations gives her a rare combination of systems thinking, user empathy, and storytelling. Equally comfortable with Jira and SQL as with Photoshop and crochet hooks, she thrives at the intersection of aesthetics, process, and people.
