Here's the story.
What inspires me?
My biggest passion in life is to learn how things work. For me, design is mainly about processes lying behind an average user's eye.
How did I get there?
I have been tinkering with Adobe Photoshop since my teenage years and that even turned into my side hustle at some point. After earning my degree in Pharmacy from the Moscow Medical University, I decided to pursue the creative side of my personality and completed Digital Product Design and Programming program at the Higher School of Economics in Moscow.
What am I passionate about?
Building products with an obsessive attention to detail, solid design systems, and truly user-centered experiences. I love creating thoughtful, intentionally crafted products that people genuinely enjoy using.
Behind the pixels, I'm deeply into cars, 3D modelling & printing, photography and low-level microcontroller programming. So yeah, I'm a geek.
