What I'm looking for
I am a Product designer with 7+ years of experience building usable, scalable interfaces and design systems for web and mobile. I drive product improvements through research and analytics, having increased conversions, reduced bounce rates, and sped up development with reusable UI kits.
I've led small teams and freelance projects across Europe and CIS, launched high-reach digital campaigns, and created hundreds of creatives and components using Figma, Adobe, Framer and AI tools. I'm seeking a product-team role that values research, creativity, and systems thinking.
