ABOUT ME
My journey in the world of visual communication has started back in 1995. I have worked on numerous projects, requiring understanding of both classical and digital media and their specifics. During my career I have designed countless icons, dozens of user interfaces for websites, touchscreens and mobile apps as well as several brand identities and stationary.
DESIGN PROCESS
In my work I incororporate desing thinking – a user-centered approach, tailored to each project’s needs. I begin by understanding the project's context and goals, followed by extensive research to uncover user needs and pain points.
In the design phase, I focus on creating flow maps, wireframes, and mockups to visualize the user journey and interface and then explore diverse solutions and refining my ideas through prototyping and iteration.

RECOMMENDATIONS
I wanted to share my experience working with Kirill. He’s an amazing UX designer with a keen eye for detail and a strong understanding of design principles and could also cover any UI task. He really likes patterns and systems so the result was always pixel perfect. His user research and usability testing skills are impressive and he always creates designs that meet both user and stakeholder needs.
What else? Not only is he technically skilled, but he’s also a fantastic team player who can handle pressure and deliver top-quality work quickly. I highly recommend for any UX design or strategy role. He’ll be a valuable asset to any team he joins and personally I will work with him again when the chance arises
Fantastic professional, quick, responsive and intelligent. Always a pleasure in communications and unyielding attention to detail. Highly recommend!
