Introduction
I'm best at creating meaningful user-centered design that helps businesses reach their goals and leaves people feeling great, inspired, and cared for. My background is in building customer-facing enterprise software across desktop and mobile. Currently, I'm driving interaction metrics for a high-impact product with tens of millions of monthly active users.

Strengths & skills
My main strength is the ability to solve complex problems by finding elegant solutions and translating them into functional interfaces. There's no magic to it, though, just a combination of accumulated experience, applied knowledge and design thinking.
People always tell I have an eye for perfection when it comes to crafting high-fidelity UI, and so I would consider this to be my another strong suit. Wireframes and early drawing board concepts can and should be wild, but when it comes to the final product it's pixel perfection or death! (Just kidding, but yeah, my Figma stuff is pretty neat.)
Leadership
Even though I see myself bringing the most value as an individual contributor, I have experience leading creative initiatives aligned with business objectives, directing and working closely with a small, dedicated team of professionals.
Usually, I'm also the person who welcomes new hires and handles design onboarding, which is something that comes naturally to me. I've also been taking on a mentor role to share my experience with aspiring designers and guide them through design thinking and processes.

Hobbies
My main passion is photography, going back to when film cameras were still mainstream. I was confident enough to run it as a side gig, even securing contracts from some big companies like Omsk Carbon Group to shoot portraits and environments. (Fun fact: I've also designed & built their first website.)
Another big one is cycling — there's nothing better than hopping on a bike, going out exploring and making friends while doing so. Also helps with taking photos in new places!
Outside of work and hobbies, I spend a lot of time with my wife Olga and two sons Boris and Gleb.
