My name is Kostya, and I've been in design for over 20 years — leading teams, shaping products, and scaling startups.

Born in Minsk, a city of engineers, I learned early to love solving problems. I studied management first, then design — a combination that taught me to balance business strategy with creative vision.

I've built design teams from the ground up, scaling them to 20+ people while reducing turnover and driving measurable growth. I've also co-founded two startups, taking products from concept to market.

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 cities on foot.
