## About Me

I am a Head of Design with 10+ years of experience building enterprise B2B SaaS platforms, marketplaces, and AI-assisted products. I have led cross-functional teams and helped shape product strategy from concept to launch.

I focus on creating scalable design systems, improving usability, and reducing time-to-market. My work has consistently centered on delivering products that are both efficient for businesses and intuitive for users.

I am also the founder and product owner of CognifyTasks, an AI-assisted productivity application. In that role, I built the product end-to-end, defined the roadmap, and launched an MVP for web and Android.

My background includes leading UX/UI efforts in large organizations, scaling design teams, and overseeing multiple active product streams. I have worked on enterprise projects, mobile games, and creative agency work, which has given me a broad product and design perspective.

I use tools such as Figma, Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, Miro, Whimsical, Notion, Jira, and Confluence. My core strengths include product strategy, agile methodologies, UX research, usability testing, data visualization, interaction design, and prototyping.

I speak English fluently and Russian natively. I am based in Serbia and am open to roles where I can lead design, improve product experiences, and drive measurable business impact.
