Experience

Product Designer / UX Systems Designer

Product designer with 9 years of experience in product development and 12+ years of overall experience in digital and visual design.

Main focus — complex B2B, B2C, and B2E interfaces: UX architecture, high-density scenarios, design systems, component-driven approach, handoff, Design QA, and collaboration with frontend teams.

Experience spans fintech, insurance, telecom, SaaS, CRM, logistics, security systems, travel marketplaces, HRTech, and internal corporate products.

In recent years, my practice has strengthened toward frontend-aware product design and AI-assisted workflow: runtime prototypes, design systems in code, source-backed demo content, documentation for design-to-dev processes, Python automation, Docker/Linux environments, and work with local and cloud AI tools.
