Ilya Pakhomov
@ilyapakhomov
Product designer focused on B2C products in Privacytech, Edtech, Dating.
What I'm looking for
I am a product designer from Armenia with hands-on experience launching B2C products from idea to first users across Privacytech, Edtech, and Dating sectors.
I design and validate product hypotheses through research, prototyping, and iterative user-story implementation, having led onboarding and UI changes that reduced churn and registration time.
My work includes iterative UX research (in-depth interviews, surveys, A/B testing) and end-to-end design execution — from information architecture and interactive prototypes to pitching materials that supported pre-seed fundraising.
I collaborate closely with product teams, mentor junior designers, and focus on measurable impact: increased engagement, longer dwell time, faster task completion, and user acquisition.
