Dmitry Shkaev

Dmitry and I worked together dating back to 2018, when we worked at a growth stage start-up company. He was the UX & Design expert that we needed in a fast-paced work environment; with priorities shifting ever so quickly - working on desktop and mobile applications, partner white-label products, websites, investor pitch presentations, you name it.

We had experienced quite a journey together as well; two company acquisitions, major departmental re-organizations, the Covid-19 pandemic - Dmitry kept a positive outlook throughout many challenges. Always willing to step up to the plate and deliver the best Customer Experiences we can provide, solving problems through UX solutions, and always asking the right questions. Dmitry was never shy to challenge the Product and Engineering teams to provide the best Customer Experience. Dmitry is always Customer focused and has a very keen attention to detail.

I would highly recommend Dmitry to anyone who is looking for an experienced UX Designer, Team Lead, and someone who can mentor Junior UX Designers to become the best version of themselves. I very much hope to work with Dmitry again in the future.

I always enjoyed working with Dmitry on common projects. As a former UX researcher turned PM, I especially appreciated Dima's user centricity and his ability to turn research findings into relevant design changes. Given our hybrid working environment, I also valued his ability to work asynchronously and he was always trying to find best ways how to communicate without generating unnecessary meetings.

I've worked with Dima for many years through not just one, but two company acquisition/mergers. He's very easy to get along with and will always be there for you in a time of need. His willingness to always mentor, give feedback, and deliver highly polished visual design no matter the circumstances would be a great addition to any team. Any time I asked for feedback on a design, you better guess he had it ready to go by the next day! I've seen Dima grow a lot over the years and he hasn't stopped.

Dima not only manages his time well, but he manages the designs too. His attention to detail and communication with stakeholders means organized design files, regular Slack / email updates, and collaboration with everyone on the team.

One of Dima's strongest suits is that he delivers. No matter what resources might be lacking in a project, he will always see the design through to the end and deliver high quality with the people that will use it in mind.

I already miss working with him and any team would be lucky to have Dima, whether it be for conceptualizing new products, presenting ideas to stakeholders and investors, or managing a project from start to finish.

I had the pleasure of working with Dima during my time at Avast. His design skills are great and he consistently delivered high-quality work. He has a deep understanding of user experience and user interface design principles and was able to apply them effectively to create nice and intuitive interfaces. I highly recommend Dima, he will be a valuable asset to any organization.

I was excited to work with Dmitry. His designs are beautiful and user-centric. Together we always found the balance between the UX and technical feasibility so that developers can keep a sustainable clean codebase while providing a great user experience.

Dmitry is also super friendly and super responsive. He's always there for his colleagues. I'm sure anyone would love working with him. If you are looking for an outstanding and social Product & UX Designer, Dmitry is the right person for you!

I had the pleasure of working with Dmitry for over a year. He is one of the most dependable and talented designers I've collaborated with in the past 10 years.

Dmitry has an impeccable attention to detail and consistently delivers well-documented pixel perfect designs. He was our team's go-to guy for anything related to Figma and design systems. Dmitry's strong technical competence is complimented by a great grasp of end-to-end design process and stakeholder management. Whenever he worked on a project, you could rest assured that we will see it through to successful completion.

Personally, Dmitry was always calm and easy-going, which played a significant role in keeping up the team's spirit even during challenging times. He always went above and beyond to support others when they needed help. He has also done a fantastic job of mentoring more junior members of our team.

All in all, everyone can only wish to have a professional like Dmitry on their team.

Thank you, Dmitry, it was a true pleasure working with you.

We have been working in one team for a bit less than a year. During this period I have seen some superpowers of Dmitry and his ability to apply them to the work he does. One of these superpowers is the deep knowledge and mastery of Design Instruments. If I had a question on Figma or Design System, Dmitry was always a person to ask and to receive the deepest answer! Dmitry is a great colleague to collaborate with on a project, you can be sure that the work will be done with precision, accuracy, and facilitation for other collaborators! It was just luck to have him in my team.

Dmitry is hands down one of the best UX designers I've ever worked with. We've been on the same design team for about two years and he's always gone above and beyond what was needed for every task. I would look forward to working on projects with him because his ability to organize concepts and simplify processes for everyone is pretty magical to experience. I appreciated his method of helping to incorporate UX writing into the design processes into Figma smoothly and efficiently as well. I have no doubt that Dima will continue to impress others with his design skills and thinking.

Dmitry is a very skilled UI designer. I have worked with him for several years now. His attention to detail is great and he delivered more than I expected. Strongly recommended!

Dmitry is the best designer I’ve ever had the pleasure to work with. His designs are always created with their end purpose in mind, whether it is to enhance conversions on a website, or improve user experience in a GUI. He offers meticulous reasoning for everything that he does. He has made himself available for all of our design needs, is prompt and dependable, always offers a quick turnaround, and provides the highest quality deliverables. His eye for detail cannot be understated. If you engage his services once, you surely will again.

Dmitry gets it done. His attention to detail and quick response really helped us get exactly what we needed in a timely manner. He is consultative along the way, makes suggestions and listens closely to feedback. What more could you ask for? I highly recommend working with him and will certainly work with him again down the line.

Dmitry is very talented and hardworking person. He is the perfectionist in a nutshell. Can't stand poor designs and sloppy user experience on the web and in everyday things. Which is a big laugh sometimes. But this attention to detail is what makes him such a good designer. Highly recommend!

Dmitry is a wonderful designer -- we will absolutely use his services again! In addition to working quickly and creating great designs, he provides thoughtful explanations for why, from a user experience standpoint, certain elements are important. He was also always available to answer questions or revise designs based on our feedback, but also willing to defend positions he felt strongly about. Couldn't have been a better experience.

Dmitry is a very motivated and hard working person. We worked together in Perfecto and still working together on freelance contracts. For now he is one of the most professional and responsible people I have ever met. Work process with him is simple and clean. Dmitry would be a true asset for any positions requiring UI/UX & Website design and comes with my heartfelt recommendation.
