Résumé

Experience

10+ years designing and leading digital products across iGaming, fintech and Web3 – from hands-on UI/UX to running design teams and building my own products, 0-to-1.

Work

Lead Designer Leon

2025 – Present · Remote

Leon is an online betting platform (iGaming / sportsbook). As lead designer I own end-to-end product design across native iOS and Android apps and the web platform – from user flows and wireframing through high-fidelity prototyping in Figma to final UI and visual design – working within the product's design system.

I run design reviews, mobile usability testing and design QA of development builds, and own design-to-development handoff, in direct, cross-functional collaboration with project managers, the marketing team and the engineering teams.

A flagship project was a ground-up redesign of the registration and onboarding flow, shipped over six months, which roughly tripled sign-up conversion.

Full-stack Designer Koncepted

2024 – 2025 · USA, Remote

As a full-stack designer at Koncepted – a creative agency for forward-thinking brands – I bridged product design and visual storytelling: intuitive UI, dynamic graphic visuals, immersive 3D (Spline) and motion design (LottieLab, Framer).

I delivered impactful projects across Web3, gaming and entertainment, from digital platforms to standout branding visuals, in active, cross-functional collaboration with delivery managers and clients.

Lead Product Designer Liga Stavok

2022 – 2024 · Remote

GoBet is the international online gambling and casino platform (iGaming / sportsbook) of Liga Stavok, one of the largest sports-betting brands (2 million+ app installs and around a million clients), which was in a phase of rapid growth.

As lead product designer and team lead I owned end-to-end product design, prototyping and user testing, built and maintained three design systems, and produced AI-driven visual assets (ChatGPT, Midjourney) alongside high-converting marketing landing pages. I led and mentored the design team.

Over that period GoBet expanded into three new markets – Chile, Peru and Brazil – a push that correlated with a +110% surge in daily active users, working cross-functionally with product owners, delivery managers, marketing and front-end engineers.

Senior UI/UX Product Designer Open Bank

2021 – 2022 · Moscow

Open Bank was an award-winning fintech corporation with 3.7 million active users. As senior UI/UX product designer I owned the end-to-end design process – research, design, testing and iteration – for mobile banking apps, online banking and the web platform, and led a visual-communication and branding project for the bank's marketing.

I ran usability testing and A/B testing alongside a dedicated UX research lab, contributing to a 37% increase in B2B client conversion, working in two-week Agile sprints with design leads, product owners, project managers, UX researchers and dev leads.

UI/UX Product Designer Revain

2020 – 2021 · Moscow

Revain is a Web3 / blockchain startup building a new-generation feedback platform. As the lead for UI design I owned UI and interaction design for the core product, partnering cross-functionally with the product owner and development team to enhance product interfaces and the overall user experience.

UI Designer MessApps

2018 – 2020 · USA, Remote

MessApps is an award-winning full-service software development company. As a UI designer I designed interfaces for mobile, desktop and web applications – wireframing and producing both low-fidelity and high-fidelity prototypes, with a focus on interaction and visual design.

Founder & products

Founder & Product Builder Own products

2023 – Present · Remote

I build and ship my own products 0-to-1 – owning the full loop from business model and product strategy through user flows, design, AI-assisted front-end development, launch and go-to-market.

Built and shipped Aduarius (AI ad-creative) and a free SEO audit tool end to end: defined the MVP and product strategy, designed the product and its design system, and built the front-end with AI assistance (React / Next.js). I designed, built and integrated the registration and onboarding flows, and assembled payments myself with AI – Stripe and self-built crypto payment gateways.

I also design and build admin panels and dashboards, and own product management for my ventures: roadmap and backlog, user stories, product discovery and product-level KPIs.
