"A user interface is like a joke. If you have to explain it, it’s not that good."
A Product Designer focused on a functional side of design with strong interest (and experience) in visual look & feel of interfaces. Experienced in both leading people and projects.
My work is based on a combination of knowledge, research and experience-based intuition. I believe that good design should not only look great but communicate and provide great user experience. I pay attention to the newest trends and to the practical side of design. I'm convinced that User Experience is much broader topic not limited to the interfaces only, it's actually all that affects user attitude towards product.
Very passionate about the latest tech trends, learning new skills, gaming and games development and travels. Constantly expanding my knowledge trough work experience, reading, courses, conferences and events.
I am communicative, and serious when it comes to my work. What I can offer you is top quality of design and professional approach. All of that on time!
Feel free to drop me a line if you have an interesting offer or just want to chat ;)
