I focus on product design, team leadership, and shaping meaningful user experiences. I’ve worked with startups and global companies in media, fintech, healthcare, and streaming.
Tending.app: Turning a Phone-Sold Service into a Digital Sales Journey
A project where I created demand, improved interfaces, and built AI pipelines to launch sales.
10× in subscriptions, 2× in sales for AURA, a healthcare service
I shaped AURA’s iOS and watchOS apps, lead site improvements, and marketing visuals — enhancing UX, boosting key metrics, and delivering greater product value.
Scaled design, talent, and impact at AGIMA — the largest production agency in Eastern Europe
I focused on scaling operations, growing talent, and increasing business impact. Launched mentorship and talent programs that cut turnover by 50%, and drove initiatives that led 30% increase in profitability.
My name is Kostya. I’ve been solving product problems through design for over 20 years.
Born in Minsk, a city of engineers, I learned early to love understanding how things work and finding ways to make them better. I studied management first, then design — a combination that still shapes how I approach products today.
Now based in Utrecht, I work hands-on across product strategy, research, UX and UI. I’ve also built design teams from the ground up, scaled them to 20+ people, and co-founded two startups.
My ambition is simple: to create good design and solve real business problems. Figma, research, AI, and design teams are different ways to get there — and I know how to use each of them when it helps.
When I’m not designing, you’ll find me kayaking (still need to replace the one I sold before moving), gaming on my Steam Deck, or exploring new places on foot.
