CV

Product designer taking products from the first flow to something engineers can ship

Product designer working end to end across iOS and web. Shipped an AI document assistant MVP on two platforms, redesigned an e-commerce product card that became the catalog-wide standard, and built the design systems those products ship from.

Experience

Product Designer — Hooh

Jan 2025 — Mar 2026

Full-time, remote · AI document assistant, iOS and web · startup — the only product designer, with a PM, product owner, art director and two engineers

  • Designed and shipped the MVP on web and iOS — upload, layered AI summaries, assistant chat and file organization. In internal testing every participant took a real document from upload to understanding unaided.
  • Introduced Progressive Disclosure (Snapshot → Summary → Q&A) after testing showed a single-step summary left users either over-summarized or unable to go deeper; it became the pattern for every later document feature.
  • Designed the trust model for an assistant that can be wrong: source citations on every claim, user-controlled document scope, stated uncertainty, the original always one tap away.
  • Extended the reader into a document workspace — Smart Fill (form fields recognized and filled from the user’s own documents, every value overridable), reusable signature, non-destructive markup and versioning: ten flows on one scaffold, designed in six weeks and handed off complete, plus the design system the team ships from.

Product Designer — iTAB

May 2024 — Apr 2026

Part-time, remote · health and wellness e-commerce · web and mobile app

  • Designed the specialist-consultations service end to end — specialist listing, specialist card and the user-side booking flow — alongside redesigns of the homepage and the product catalog, and sections throughout the app and the site.
  • Redesigned the supplement product card across web and mobile to cut drop-off in a high-trust category. After launch drop-off fell and add-to-cart rose on every step redesigned, and the card system rolled out across the entire catalog as the new standard; figures under NDA.
  • Defined purchase states: the CTA becomes a quantity control with immediate feedback, and unavailable products offer restock and alternatives instead of a dead end.

UX/UI Designer — Infomedia

May 2023 — Feb 2025

Full-time, remote · communication products

  • Worked on products for Russian Railways (RZD) and Rosatom, turning complex requirements into clear user flows and interfaces. Project details under NDA.

Product Designer — Freelance

Mar 2022 — Present

  • Syno.art (2026 — Present) — art platform for Cyprus. Designed the artist side end to end — auth, profile and portfolio, the open-call flow and applications dashboard — 180+ screens across desktop and mobile, built on a design system of 296 components and 400 tokens in primitive, semantic and adaptive layers.
  • Cryptomi (2023–2024) — interfaces for a crypto product; dense, data-heavy flows made approachable.
  • Abramova School (2023–2024) — UX/UI design alongside mentoring junior designers: critiques, portfolio reviews, feedback.
