Hi, I am Mikhail, product designer with
background in design concepts and storytelling.
I'm a Product Designer with 8+ years of experience designing complex B2B and B2C products for global markets. I've worked across SaaS, fintech, and AdTech, collaborating with startups, scale-ups, and enterprise companies. My focus is on systems thinking, product craft, and building scalable design systems that serve both users and engineering teams. I work closely with product and engineering leadership to drive design decisions from early discovery through to production.
