About Me

Hi! 👋 My name is Ivan. I’m a Senior Product Designer based in Brooklyn, New York.

I grew up in a small town in Russia, where I earned a Bachelor’s Degree in History and studied Psychology at university. Along with my love for design, this background shaped my approach to creating interfaces that align with how people think and interact with the world around them.

I spent two years in Munich, Germany, and ten years in Moscow, where I gained experience working in various big tech companies (e.g. Avito, Revolut, OneTwoTrip, etc.). During that time, I worked on almost every technique you’d find in a UX designer’s playbook, like Design Thinking, Journey Mapping, Data-Driven Design and so on 😌

Two years ago, I moved to Brooklyn, New York, and started my language and career journey from scratch (unfortunately, my list of employers didn’t carry much weight in the U.S.).

Outside of designing interfaces, I love riding bicycles, motorcycles, and driving cars.
