About me
Product designer with a background in engineering. Grew up in St. Petersburg building websites and eventually moved into iOS development before finding lane in product design. Received EB-1 talent visa in 2024.
I love pushing boundaries by exploring new things, whether it is motion design or vibe-coding.
Fun
I love exploring the world through hiking and trying out new recipes in the kitchen. I also have a passion for extreme sports like parachuting and rope jumping. I’m currently at a 20-country milestone and always planning the next adventure.
Contribution
I love sharing my knowledge by speaking at design conferences, challenging my skills by participating in hackathons, and judging design awards.
