About

Born in Russia, exploring the world.
Loving clever design & chasing good waves.

Summary

Product designer with 7+ years of experience shaping complex B2B and B2C SaaS platforms. Starting in industrial design, I learned how ergonomics and materials impact the overall feel of a product. This background built my foundation for deep problem research and an iterative approach.

I consistently use my own products as an end-user (dogfooding) to uncover friction points and optimize the UX.

Philosophy

Industrial Approach

I design interfaces where business logic meets ergonomics to minimize friction. Flawless UX allows users to solve tasks with minimal effort. This approach drives loyalty, secures retention, and builds products that users are truly happy to pay for.

The ocean and travel taught me agility and adaptation. My industrial design background shaped how I approach interfaces — always focused on the user, keeping their problems and needs at the center of every decision.
