Math degree, 6 years in data analysis, then a decade of Product Design. I've built for fintech, compliance, ecommerce and analytics tools.
I've led a design team, hired designers, built the processes, stepped in as acting PM. I'm at home across the whole product lifecycle, from the first messy discovery call to helping fine-tune the go-to-market motion.

A long-read file covering my journey in detail: full history, projects with real context, how I work, and the parts that didn't go to plan. Copy it and paste it into the tool of your choice, then ask it anything about me.
I'm organized to the point of being slightly boring about it. I'm the person who asks, at the end of the meeting, "Soooo... what are the action points?", because I've sat in too many conversations where everyone nods, leaves and turns out to have understood something different.
I'm genuinely curious about what AI is doing to the design craft. Experimenting with it has made design work more fun and knocked down the barriers that used to limit how much we could try. But deciding what to build is still the hard part, and that comes from experience: the failed experiments, the ones that worked, the books you've read, the years of doing it with your own hands, the taste that you've developed. That judgment is what I bring.
Born and raised in Russia, now in Southern California by way of San Francisco. I've visited 30 countries so far and I'm not done counting.
