About

I'm an art director and product designer with 10+ years of experience in user interfaces and interaction design. Now, after decade working as designer only, I am engaged in my educational projects, music, working as a freelance art-director and mentorship.

I am always looking for a job where I’ll be able to combine the creation of aesthetic and convenient products, teaching, amusement and technology. For me, these are SaaS products, but I am open to any other complex projects.

Projects

Ongoing

#education

It was based on the idea of the distant 2018 — to oust terrible and inconvenient mobile applications from stores. Based on the UX experience and usage contexts help to focus on memorizing the symbols of the Japanese Kana alphabet.

Add here stunning illustrations, the ability to choose their style, and you get a product with an auditorium of about 50,000 people per month.

At the first stages, I was engaged in confirming hypotheses on prototypes — that an interface without a tab bar would be convenient and logical. Then — the first and the second UI concepts, a redesign in 2021 and finally the search for illustrators.

2019

#health-care

Concept, design, and support of the clinic network application on iOS and Web. The Art direction of the commercial, the Android version of the app, and the internal task tracker.

#education

DJ

I chose music as my second activity for the same reason that I became a designer — it's difficult, beautiful and insanely interesting. And the hardware and software for it are similar to the professional UI with cool interaction mechanics.
