About me
My background is in building customer-facing enterprise software across desktop and mobile. I’m best at creating meaningful user-centered design that helps businesses reach their goals and leaves people feeling great, inspired, and cared for. Currently, I’m driving interaction metrics for a high-impact product with tens of millions of monthly active users.
Turning business ideas and user feedback into designs that are both fun and work well. Learning fast from qualitative and quantitative data. Designing and shipping across key interaction areas. Fixing what matters most. Making things people understand easily and enjoy genuinely.
Worked on privacy products including AntiTrack, BreachGuard, SecureLine VPN, and Avast Online Security & Privacy. Designed and shipped features across desktop and mobile, turning complex privacy concepts into simple, usable experiences. Contributed to design system work and mentored designers.
TrackOFF · Jun 2015 — Jul 2019
I joined the startup as employee number two and helped build an innovative privacy product from the ground up. It performed strongly, and after four years the company was acquired by Avast, where we continued our journey as part of a larger organization.
IP Independent practice · Apr 2015 — Jul 2017
Worked on design projects for clients worldwide. In my spare time, I explored web and landing page contests as a way to sharpen my skills and generate additional income.
Perfecto · Jun 2011 — May 2015
During my first year, I focused primarily on managing content for the company's websites. Over time, I transitioned into web- and product design, contributing to dozens of successfully delivered projects. It was an exciting period of growth, working alongside talented people and gaining hands-on experience that shaped my foundation in design.
My responsibilities included managing the company’s websites, writing daily news articles, and communicating with clients, as well as overseeing print production from design to distribution. I also represented the company at business and government events and contributed to shaping its public image.
My core strength is solving complex problems through elegant, well-reasoned solutions and turning them into clear, functional interfaces. There’s no magic behind it — just experience, pattern recognition, and a disciplined design approach.
I’m often told that I have an eye for perfection when it comes to crafting high-fidelity UI, and I would consider this to be my second strongest trait. Wireframes and early concepts can and should be wild, but when it comes to the final product, it’s pixel-perfect or death. Just kidding, but yes, my Figma stuff is pretty neat.
Here are some quotes from the colleagues and clients I’ve worked with over the years. They offer an external perspective on my work, collaboration style, and overall contribution across different roles and projects. Originally shared on LinkedIn.
“Dmitry is very passionate about the user experience, always advocating for solutions that put user’s needs in the center of the discussion.”
Senior Product Designer, Exness
While I bring the most value as an individual contributor, I have experience leading creative initiatives within business goals and working closely with small, focused teams. I’m often involved in onboarding new hires and helping them get up to speed, and I’ve taken on mentoring responsibilities to support junior designers and guide them through design processes.
My main passion is photography, which I’ve been practicing for quite some time, starting back when film cameras were still the mainstream. At one point, I was comfortable enough to turn it into a side gig, even securing contracts with companies like Omsk Carbon Group to shoot portraits and environments.
Another major activity for me is cycling — there’s nothing better than hopping on a bike, exploring new places, and meeting people along the way. It also naturally complements my photography.
And, as a family man, I spend a lot of time with my wife Olga and our two sons, Boris and Gleb.
I’m located in 🇨🇾 Limassol and always open to meeting new people. Feel free to hit me up on Telegram.
