For more than a decade I've been working as an Interaction Designer, with experience including hands-on work for clients like Spotify, Google, IKEA, IBM, The New York Times and The Prince Estate. I started as an Editorial Designer back in 2008. I expanded my background to include high level sophisticated multimedia digital design.

In 2016, I temporarily moved to New York in O-1 status and started as a Digital Designer at Base Design NYC (https://www.basedesign.com). Since then, my love for design has been extended by curiosity in psychoanalytic theory, philosophy and history. I was then invited to join IDEO New York as a Senior Interaction Designer, also temporarily in O-1 status. In 2021 I co-founded Control and onboarded on a journey of creating a next-gen design and development tool. Control was launched publicly on Oct 10, 2023.

Here are my most recent accomplishments:

Founded and designed a next-level Design Tool called Control https://cntrl.site/

Control is an emerging web design tool with a strong focus on a hands-on design process. Starting as an in-house experiment, it grew into an ambiguous product with thousands of dedicated users worldwide. 

It’s featured in respectable design media, such as:

SiteInspire https://www.siteinspire.com/website/13228-control
Tools.Design https://www.toools.design/
Design Everywhere (401K subscribers on Instagram) https://www.instagram.com/p/DJ690ayyYa6/?img_index=1
Craftwork Design https://craftwork.design/curated/website/control
Also, Control will be featured in this April’s issue of Slanted - one of the leading design-oriented print magazines in the world.

Users of Control span across top-notch designers like Anton Repponen, world-class design firms like IDEO to students in institutions like Berkley, UCLA, The New School (New York), University of Michigan, Virginia Commonwealth University, Georgetown University, UC San Diego, Williams College and others. 

Besides that, I designed an official website for Simon Shuster’s book on Zelensky, which became an instant US bestseller.

Also, I collaborated with Microsoft (through GDP) to design their latest Work Trend Index Annual Report, which became a long-lasting editor’s pick and was shared by Microsoft’s CEO Satya Nadella on his social media https://x.com/satyanadella/status/1915098373176352852?s=20

Lastly, I was secured by Data & Trusted AI Alliance https://www.dtaalliance.org/ - a group of industry-leading enterprises that deploy data and AI in business. I provide expert design and web development consulting services on an ongoing basis.
