    About

    About
    Lead Product Designer with 7+ years of experience. Specialise in design systems and core-product initiatives for large ecosystems. Currently at VK, where I lead the native design system used across 15+ products. Previously, I spent 3.5 years as design lead on VK ID — overseeing key auth/registration flows and contributing to an initiative that saved ~₽380M/year. For this work I received the People Award VK as the best product designer. Earlier I built the Sber B2B design system (Leggo UI) from scratch and contributed to the VTB Online redesign.
