The project existed before I joined it but it required deep changes in structure and user interaction. As a head of UX-team I built design process as following: making initial researches (analysis of competitors and adjacent services, analytics review, interviewing existing and potential users) and making up Customer Journey Maps based on this information (for each platform and each type of users separately), creation of clickable prototypes of the new design version, monthly usability testing of the obtained material on the target audience, drawing of final layouts and all their variants, a/b tests in production for doubtful moments. Among the interesting innovations I would point out creation of integrated module grid for the main sections and composing UI-guidelines based on Google Material Design components for all platforms simultaneously. These methods contributed to shortening the time for creation the final design and developing final product. Now the project is in the state of continual updates. Show less

The service provides SMB segment companies with the possibility to realize necessary business analytics independently and by themselves, instead of hiring expensive agencies and consultants. I had a task of product redesigning which will bring up the service to a qualitatively new level before the second investment round to the company and following worldwide launch of the product. Here is just a part of competitors that I had to overtake: datastudio.google.com, tableau.com, gooddata.com. In other words I had to create a service of the same level with Sketch, InVision, Readymag, Figma or Webflow, but in business analysis not design. As a result, after involving myself to an absolutely new sphere, I fully redesigned the product in all aspects starting with navigation, visual interface and animation, finishing with interaction logics, positioning paid functions and maximum precise presentation of the product concept to customers. Currently over 40% of the significant parts are realized. However, the project has already got the requested investments so the developers started implementation of the rest 60 % for achieving the desired quality. The final result as a set of key design layouts: https://readymag.com/u28810094/slemma/ Show less

Along with this I managed to acquire new platforms: iOS (watch, phone, tablet), Android (phone, tablet), WindowsPhone. Before, I only practiced conveyer production of web and touch-sites. As I worked I completely built up the designing process which was missing, gradually interfering designing and interface development techniques of A. Cooper and J. Raskin into it, as well as such work stages as interaction prototyping, creation of UI animation, A/B testing and corridor testing, writing bug reports, making guidelines and fully realized users researches. Along with flagman product development I dealt with a number of niche lean startups development. The gained experience taught me a precise understanding of projects business purposes; creation, testing and correction of hypotheses; minimization of extra work for a faster launch, gradual increasing of detalization, quality of interaction and visual constituent; creating methods and scenarios of the following monetization; and, finally, making 2nd and 3rd versions of existing successful products.

As an art director I joined the project at a presale stage. Then I continued participating in collecting and analyzing information, designing and prototyping.

Further I presented the result to a customer and in the end I set and supervised tasks for the team members and outsource designers as well as managed designers supervision at all stages of the developing.

Here I realized what a real design is and what is the most important I learned to do it. My simultaneous participation in different projects performing different parts as well as close interaction with other designers, developers and art-directors shaped my true picture of designing process. Working on one projects I did routine technical design and practiced drawing of secondary pages, on the others I worked under supervision of art-directors, prototyped and interacted with front-end, and on the thirds I created conceptions myself and set tasks for other designers. Dealing with such big customers like Gazprom, Sberbank, Coldrex, Shtockman, agro holding Mriya also contributed to my rapid professional growth. To ensure my high professional level, I also started thoroughly studying infographics, information design, typographic, 3D and photography.
