I lead design systems at Remitly, where 5 million people trust the app to send money to their families. That context shapes everything; ambiguity in a financial product erodes trust, so every component and pattern needs to be precise, accessible, predictable, and clear.

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.

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.

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.

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↗︎

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.

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).

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

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.
