Good evening, I'm Andrei

I'm a Seattle-based product designer who builds. I have 14 years of experience in product design and development.

I obsess over visual craft, build AI-native design systems, and write code when mockups aren't enough.

Currently at Remitly, leading design systems for design and engineering teams. Outside of work, I build Figma plugins used by 30,000+ creators and AI-powered tools like Scraib, a writing assistant.

teams and projects

Remitly

Senior Product Designer 2024 -   

I lead design systems at Remitly, where 5 million people trust the app to send money to their families.

I designed and coded a WCAG-compliant component library in Figma and React Native with accessibility built in as the default, fully documented in Storybook and with JSDocs, for engineers and models. Also I build high-fidelity prototypes for leadership, create Figma plugins and other tools that automate design processes, and lead educational initiatives to scale design quality across the org.

Swiftly

Senior Product Designer 2022 - 24

I led Swiftly's multi-platform design system, designing and documenting components alongside engineers. I created Figma plugins to automate theme creation, management, and token generation.

Here's a story about one of these tools, a color palette generator↗︎ that greatly benefited our design, engineering, and marketing teams by saving a considerable number of hours.

In addition to it, I worked closely with researchers and product managers to enhance user experience and develop new features for our products.

Veeam

Web Designer 2020 - 22

It was an exciting time of rapid growth for Veeam. I collaborated closely with marketing and engineering teams to develop a new corporate website and design system for Veeam.

Cointelegraph

Senior Product Manager / Product Designer 2019 - 20

At Cointelegraph, I designed versions for China, South Korea, and Turkey. Being able to work across multiple time zones and learn about the specifics of multilingual interfaces for different cultures was fascinating. A few months later, Cointelegraph became the most visited crypto media in the world. In addition, I designed and launched a new product, Cointelegraph Magazine↗︎

Msoft

Design Director 2017 - 19

I helped build a design team from scratch and worked on various projects, including launching a loyalty program app for x5 Retail Group ( case study) and redesigning CRM for a pharmaceutical company.

AGIMA

Design Director 2015 - 17

When I joined AGIMA, they had just started developing mobile apps. I led a design team that helped AGIMA become the second-best mobile app development agency in Russia. One notable project was a mobile app for the second-largest internet provider in Russia, Dom.ru ( case study).

PLUS8

Founder, Designer 2014 - 19

In 2014, I founded a design studio with a small team of designers and engineers. Our focus was mainly on creating mobile apps. Here is one of my favorite projects made by our team for Visa, Fitbox Virtual Racing ( case study).

Freelance

2012 - 14

My professional career started with a website I built for my sister. To learn more, I began helping others with design and websites. Eventually, I had too many clients to handle, so I started my own studio.
