Feb 2016 - May 2021
I worked on the Yandex Maps, Yandex Metro, Yandex Maps API, Map Constructor, Map Editor, and internal services (such as Subway Schemes Constructor, Satellite Layer Editor). I led the full product design process: from the early data analysis and audience research to final designs for all platforms (desktop, mobile, and mobile web) and ongoing support. Examples of my last projects: • shutdown of Yandex Transport app (due to core app functionality being integrated into Yandex Maps) and moving its users to Yandex Maps app. Successfully converted 80% of Transport app users into Yandex Maps users • redesign of one of the core product use cases — public transit use case for Yandex Maps. Increased DAU by 6 times • designing a dark theme for subway schemes and interface in Yandex Metro. App’s dark theme was featured on AppStore • maintaining Yandex Maps' design system and designing it for Yandex Metro • accessibility data in places' cards for Yandex Maps And something more: • published several articles in the internal company blog on AR • helped onboard and mentor three design interns. All of them were successfully employed by Yandex • helped organize design school at Yandex (3-month offline program for product designers) • helped with internal AR-hackathon (made an introduction into XR and created a compilation of UX best practices for XR) • made short presentations for my team. Sometimes for sharing useful work knowledge (like UX research methods) or sometimes about awesome things unrelated to work (like water bears or augmented reality) Show less
