Product Designer
Hi! I’m Yuri, a product designer with over 3+ years of experience.
I create clear and thoughtful interfaces that solve real user problems.
I have experience working with international teams on both web and mobile products. In my work, I strive to apply best practices, pay attention to detail, and design interfaces that truly work.
I believe that a designer’s role is not just to make beautiful screens — but to deeply understand the product, think critically, and propose solutions that drive real impact.

Testimonials
"I had the opportunity to work closely with Yuri for a couple of years while leading the Growth squad, and he was a key force in scaling our design efforts. When we started, there was no design system in place—but together, we built a solid, scalable foundation that improved design cohesiveness, elevated quality, and boosted team efficiency.Yuri has a sharp eye for detail, but what truly sets him apart is his ability to design with purpose. Whether it was a landing page, a product flow, or a core component, his work consistently aligned with business goals and delivered results. His designs didn’t just look good—they worked.He also collaborated closely with our product development team, and his understanding of backend systems helped bridge the gap between design and engineering. That made our workflows smoother and handoffs more efficient. Yuri is more than just a talented designer—he’s a strategic, thoughtful teammate. Any team would be lucky to have him."
“Working with Yuri was truly transformative. He brought structure, clarity, and consistency to our design operations. When he joined the team, we were facing a lot of chaos and inefficiencies — Yuri quickly stepped in and made sense of it all. He rebuilt our systems, introduced thoughtful workflows, and helped create a scalable foundation that elevated our entire design process.Yuri goes beyond delivering great design — he builds systems and processes, and challenges ideas when needed to propose better ones. That mindset helped us raise our design standards and improve the consistency and scalability of our product.He has an impressive ability to think critically and deliver scalable design solutions. He takes initiative, asks thoughtful questions, and can work independently with minimal supervision. He made our team better by raising the bar. I would absolutely work with him again”
“I’m very glad I had the chance to work with Yuri. When I joined the team as an intern, he became a great mentor — helping me build a strong foundation in product design, understand how things work, and always offering support.
What stood out the most was his patience — in the early stages, when I was just learning, he explained things clearly and never made me feel pressured.
His feedback was always constructive, to the point, and respectful, which made collaboration genuinely comfortable. Yuri maintained professional boundaries and created a safe, supportive working environment. I learned a lot thanks to our time working together, and I’m truly grateful for the experience.”
