Hello! My name is Alexey. I'm a UX designer, entrepreneur, and content creator. I design digital products and create videos on various design topics on my YouTube channel.
I was born and raised in Russia, and I've been designing user interfaces since the mid-2000s. My design career started by accident when I was introduced to 3D-modelling tools. I was so fascinated with its power that I started exploring all software for graphic design that fell into my hands. I began working as a freelancer wearing a lot of hats. Slowly my focus shifted from computer graphics in general to UX design.
Over the last 10 years, I've worked full- and part-time for various companies and startups. When I'm not designing something I usually play video games, watch football, or walk the streets of the beautiful city of Vienna with my wife and daughter.

2018 – 2019, Kisi (Remote)
Product Designer
I’ve been working on Kisi’s cloud-based access control apps on iOS, Android, and web. The redesigned versions of the mobile app got high ratings in the AppStore and Google Play Market (4.8 and 4.6 respectively). The redesigned web app was also well-received by the customers. That success allowed the company to grow twice while I was there.
2015 – 2016, Accedo (Stockholm, Sweden)

During my time at Accedo, I’ve been working on video apps across various platforms. I worked with multiple development teams to make sure the apps work and look consistent on all platforms (iOS, Android, Web, Roku, Apple TV). The OTT Flow app was nominated in 2016 in Sweden for its great UX.

Great collaboration with Alexey to create some PoC concepts for an app we are working with. He was able to digest our poor hand-drawn mockups and develop a creative, yet brand-specific mockup that our team thoroughly appreciated. We look forward to working with him again in the future.
Talented designer - skilled, respectful, and responsive. Would definitely work with Alexey again.
