About me
I've been designing since 2008, I've been working with user interfaces and websites for over 8 years. I designed different interfaces such as apps for smart TV, games for tablet, apps for mobile and other digital screens. But besides interfaces, I also love visual design. I often participate in design competitions and festivals, as well as being a jury on Awwwards.com and I was a visiting teacher at the British School of Design in Moscow. My work has been included in Asia design books for 5 years, making me very proud. One of my last graphic work was the stylization of 60 portraits of the theater troupe of the Kulturhuset Theater in Stockholm, these portraits are now used for theatrical announcements and hang in the theater lobby. I'm always looking for products that can implement both of these sides, visual design, and interface design. I really like to build users flow and generate ideas of how people can achieve the target action in different ways, how differently as a designer I can lead them hand in hand, somewhere giving freedom of choice, and somewhere limiting to an ultimatum, using not only logic tools but also visual manipulations.

  • Camber
    CamberCamber is a platform for finding new places with familiar faces; a digital journal full of bookmarks, pins, hidden gems, and recommendations. Camber app was intimately crafted with off-beat design thinking at its core. We wanted this app to feel creative, personal, as if you have ownership and pride over your past and future trips. Therefore, the UI/UX of this mobile app is intuitive, but not predictable, and paramount to user acquisition.
  • VTB Leasing
    VTB LeasingCAR RENTAL APP FOR B2B The main task that I set myself when designing and prototyping the user path was to demonstrate the types and brands of cars for leasing. I was working with an existing identity, and I needed to show the brand in a more discreet, premium segment, using the current colors and fonts, and rethinking these identity elements. The main thing in the design is the illustrations of cars, it's like sweets in a shiny wrapper, they were supposed to be the main attractive characters.
