Work experience

Icons8
2019…Present
An ecosystem of assets and tools used by 1,500,000+ designers and developers around the world. It's not just icons but also illustrations, photos, music, AI tools, graphic editors, etc.
In Icons8, I helped take visual design to the next level, bring the design in products to consistency, and launch 45+ new products on Product Hunt.
Here I learned how to work parallel on multiple products and help marketing simultaneously, manage the design team's processes, and close user needs.
Generated Media
2019…Present
The first company to commercialise the sale of generated photos. It is now over 2.5 million photos and a photo generator.
I've been at Generated Media from the very beginning: I did the design for the earliest promos, the core platform interface, and the revolutionary Face Generator.
Here I first delved into AI and ML and understood how to explain to users what they hadn't seen before. With the birth of a new type of AI media, one must act quickly and experiment a lot.
Stride
2014…2019
Digital product design and development team. 100+ projects: marketing, mobile apps, and complex web interfaces.
I joined Stride when the studio was still called Uvee. In 4 years of work, I helped get the design department up from scratch. Supported and supervised all design processes in the company. Set up and accelerated the creation of websites in Webflow. Designed and maintained a design system.
I learned how to create products from scratch, build websites without code, and work as a team.
Freelance
2012…2014
An ecosystem of assets and tools used by 1,500,000+ designers and developers around the world. It's not just icons but also illustrations, photos, music, AI tools, graphic editors, etc.
