Senior AI-infused Produckt Designer
About
I worked as a founding designer in startups and a contributor in large product teams, so I offer a unique blend of independence and teamwork. My experience ranges from local projects to global products with 5 million daily users.
Collaboration, flexibility, and system thinking are my core strengths. My work is guided by effectiveness, empathy, and fun ✨.
With 10 years of experience, I've led all stages of the design process, including user research, system design, prototyping, writing design copy, and creating handover specs.
My skills also include accessibility, stakeholder and project management, and creating design systems.

I dream of working on accessibility, design systems, or ecology-related projects.

Supporting designers in achieving their goals 🤝
This was my way of exploring things I'm passionate about — AR/VR, technologies, and accessibility. We naturally grew the audience to 3500 followers without advertising and sold the channel.
Made 2 socks collections (with package and tags) for a nice Siberian brand. I've helped them with strategy, brand concept, promo materials, site, copy, and social media
Side Projects
I designed and built a website that lets you discover tips from my article on cat care in a fun and interactive way.

I designed for a startup — a decision-making framework for businesses (kinda like Miro, but tailored for finding strategic decisions based on a scientifically proven approach). Decreased time to market by implementing a design system for them. Optimized the user journey and helped to test numerous hypothesis
I worked on the Yandex Maps team and on products like Yandex Metro, Yandex Maps API, Map Constructor, Map Editor, and internal services independently. I led the full product design process: from the early data analysis and audience research to final designs for all platforms (desktop, mobile, and mobile web) and ongoing support.
Examples of my last projects:
- Shutdown of Yandex Transport app (due to its core functionality being integrated into Yandex Maps). Successfully transferred 80% of Transport users into Yandex Maps
- Redesign of one of the core product use cases — public transit use case for Yandex Maps. Increased DAU by 6 times
- Dark theme for subway schemes and interface in Yandex Metro. App’s dark theme was featured on AppStore
- Maintenance of the Yandex Maps design system and creation of the Yandex Metro design system
- Accessibility data in places' cards for Yandex Maps
And some more:
- Published several articles in the internal company blog on AR
- Helped onboard and mentor three design interns. All of them were successfully employed by Yandex
- Helped organize design school at Yandex (a 3-month offline program for product designers)
- Helped organize an internal AR hackathon (made an introduction to XR and created a compilation of UX best practices for XR)
- Made short presentations for my team. Sometimes for sharing useful work knowledge (like UX research methods) or sometimes about awesome things unrelated to work (like water bears or augmented reality)
I designed SCADA and smart home interfaces. Created UI Kits for engineers to use on their own, without a designer.
Some of my projects:
- Interfaces for managing infrastructure and engineering systems of an office building, a data center, and a hotel
- Power generating unit interface for a famous Siberian hospital (Meshalkin Research Institute of Circulation Pathology)
I started as a technical designer at one online store (Skinon), worked as a Head of design there, jumped to another online store as a web designer.
Then worked as a graphic/web designer for several years. I made designs for a marketing agency, a recruiting agency, and a dance school
