About me

UX/UI designer, 2.5 years in design — a year of them doing product UX/UI at Rostelecom, where I grew from project administrator into a product designer; freelance before that.

I design complex systems: product logic, roles and states, interfaces for managing data. I take a task from requirements through to screens and the handoff to development.

Experience

Rostelecom
UX/UI Designer
September 2025 — September 2026

Two products in parallel, the full cycle: requirements → screens → UI kit → handoff to development.

  • IT Products Showcase (June — September 2026), a B2B platform for matching IT solutions: research — interviews with sales managers, usability tests, group sessions with stakeholders and the contractor BFT;
  • pulled the findings into a prioritized table and a set of cards in Figma, and redesigned the key flows on top of them;
  • worked out the concept and the spec for an AI assistant that finds the right products: an entry panel and a chat with RAG search over the catalog;
  • Mogu i Pomogayu (December 2025 — September 2026), a corporate volunteering portal: sole product designer — the employee and coordinator scenarios, roles and states, cascading deletion, errors and validation, interface copy;
  • scenarios for creating and running events, employee sign-ups and reporting — at national and regional level;
  • Netris ITX (November — December 2025), the mobile client for a new version of a video surveillance system installed at 5,000+ business customers across 24 regions of Russia: an MVP in 2 months with development running in parallel — sign-in, live view, the archive with export, events with video analytics;
  • business and functional requirements turned into screens and a UI kit; the app shipped to production on time;
  • one-off work: landing pages, individual app screens, design reviews, bug reports;
Rostelecom
Project administrator / graphic designer
June 2024 — September 2025

End-to-end projects, from the budget to presenting the work to the client: documentation, coordination, deadlines.

  • effectively the deputy project manager: planning and budgets, documentation, deadlines;
  • helped prepare and present projects to the client;
  • built the branding for Rostelecom’s podcasts from scratch: logo, cover art, YouTube channel design, banners, merch;
  • regularly worked on logos for the division’s new projects;
Freelance
UX/UI and graphic design
2023 — 2024

Websites, landing pages and visual identity for small businesses — from structure to final UI.

  • landing pages: structure and prototypes, responsive layouts, UI, handoff to front-end;
  • logos, visual identity, business cards;
