Head of Design / Product Design Lead
About Me
I am looking for a position as Head of Design or Product Design Lead in a product company where strategy, systematic thinking, and a mature UX culture are important. I am also open to project-based or part-time employment. I am a manager with over 10 years of experience in digital product design. I have built and developed several design teams from scratch, implemented scalable design systems and management processes that have increased release speed and development predictability.
I combine business goals, user experience, and technological constraints into a unified product vision. I know how to justify decisions, calculate consequences, and take responsibility for results. I easily build communication with analysts, developers, and C-level executives, initiate product transformations, and create processes from scratch when necessary.
I created and launched the MVP of the Stroim.Dom.RF service, which serves over 100,000 active users throughout Russia. I developed and implemented a new section for Stoloto, which has an audience of over 25 million users. I restructured the work of the design team at OMK-IT, optimizing processes and reducing the release cycle by 30%.
I launched the international project Ownima, formed a team, brought Owner CRM to beta, and prepared the product for scaling with a target turnover of over $100 million within 5 to 7 years. I am focused on results, team culture, and quality user experience.
Throughout my career, I have managed product and design teams, developed product strategies, and created end-to-end design systems. I am skilled in Figma design, people management, UX testing, and product design. I am ready to relocate and work remotely to contribute effectively to my next role.
