Bio
John W.
Alex was a Senior Product Designer on my team at Intercom and I found him a joy to work with. His Interaction Design and Visual Design skills are top notch and he always did a great job of building strong relationships with the product manager and engineers on his own team, as well as with the various stakeholders within the organisation that he worked with. I'm sorry to lose Alex from my team, he has a great deal to offer any team he joins and comes with the added bonus of having the best travel stories of anyone I've worked with.

I am writing to recommend Alex Sviryda based on our professional association at Alfa Bank, where we both worked in the B2B division. Alex held a senior position within the organization and played a significant role in my career development. Alex's expertise in design, user experience, and project management greatly influenced our team's success in the B2B sector. Despite not being my direct manager, their guidance and support were invaluable. Alex fostered a collaborative work environment, encouraging continuous learning and innovation. Alex's leadership skills were evident in their clear communication, ability to provide constructive feedback, and motivation of team members. They possessed a holistic understanding of projects, ensuring alignment with organizational objectives. I highly recommend Alex for any design-related role.
