Work experience

Team Lead Designer / Acting Head of Design

from 01.2023 to 04.2026 (3 years 4 months)
Digital Agency (NDA), Kyiv (Design)

• Built the design department from scratch and owned it end to end (hiring, offboarding, performance reviews, team budget, roadmaps, and process), scaling a core team of 4 (6-7 at peak, with motion and 3D specialists) and mentoring 2 designers;
• Launched a B2B wholesale ordering portal from 0 to 1 as Lead Designer with partial PM ownership (estimation, JIRA, workload distribution): 8 flows, gated catalog, multi-entity verification (clients with up to 40 legal entities), repeat-order flow, and a design system from scratch, delivered in ~3 months, now 18+ months in production and replacing ~10 manual order channels;
• Designed a repeat-order flow that accounted for 28% of orders in months 3-6 post-launch (57% placed unchanged, 43% after modification), validating the recurring-purchase pattern for a wholesale B2B audience;
• Introduced an AI-supported design workflow and authored an internal AI Wiki (per-project + onboarding clusters, agent-queryable) that sped up new-designer onboarding and reduced errors on recurring tasks;
• Owned client relationships end to end, from first requirements through to final delivery;
• Launched an offline-first event check-in iPadOS application for a global pharma company.

Lead Designer

from 07.2021 to 07.2025 (4 years)
Viseven, Kyiv (IT)

• Built the account's design function from scratch (team, processes, JIRA workflows, a 100+ component system, and a Confluence design playbook), which cut time-to-market for new materials by ~30%, reduced rework and clarification tickets by 34% (JIRA data), and raised material compliance with client brand requirements from ~65% to ~95% as final approver;
• Ran 4–12 projects in parallel, from small tasks to full builds; reported to delivery management, and directly to the client when the project needed it;
• Embedded twice (outstaffed) into the client's internal design team; on the second engagement redesigned 300+ screens of the iPad sales tool under medical-legal constraints, clearing 7+ years of design debt — the client extended the contract to keep me on it;
• Co-ran user research across 3 markets (UK, CA, AU): 6 in-depth interviews synthesized into ~19 insights and 4 usage scenarios, used as evidence in cross-functional decisions with medical, legal, and regional teams;
• Raised the design tender win-rate from 5 to 7.5 of 10 as lead, and grew client satisfaction and the range of work handled by the account.

UX/UI Designer

from 07.2019 to 07.2021 (2 years)
Freelance (Upwork), Kyiv (Design)

• Designed a B2B ordering and admin system for a European waterpark network, building a parts catalog and ordering flows from several hundred pages of technical documentation, through client workshops to delivery.
• Designed a medical-record mobile application for doctors treating children in developing countries (patient cards, examination history, cross-doctor access), collaborating with teams in Canada, Germany, and France.

UX Designer

from 02.2019 to 07.2021 (2 years 6 months)
Viseven, Kyiv (IT)

• Led design direction for one of the company's biggest pharma clients across their marketing and sales products; prototyped and stakeholder-validated a redesign of the company's main product and its wizard, delivered as a working prototype and finished UI before my promotion to Lead Designer;
• Designed and shipped a doctor certification platform (web) end to end as sole UI/UX designer for an international pharmaceutical group (functional spec, wireframes, and a design system from scratch, 50+ screens across states and breakpoints), turning regulatory constraints (professional-only access, verification gate, disclaimers) into a transparent user journey; launched, still in production 4+ years on, later repurposed by the group as an internal training tool;
• Designed an internal estimation tool that became the company's single source of truth for estimates, cutting estimation time on routine tasks by ~60% (20-30% on large custom work), standardizing the method with templates and reducing estimate disputes;
• Contributed to Viseven's first design system, which became the foundation for its later iterations and is still evolving today;
• Ran knowledge-sharing lectures for designers and developers every two months.
