What I Bring to the Table

Solid Leadership Experience:
Over two decades in design, including 12 years in leadership roles. Nine of those in fast-paced, high-pressure agency environments.

Diverse Project Portfolio:

Strategic Business Insight:
Beyond client work, I've co-founded two startups. This gives me deep understanding of founder challenges and strategic business needs.

I have worked side by side with Kanstatsin for several years, and during this time, I have become convinced that he is not only a competent manager and an experienced specialist but also a person who is always looking for new, effective solutions. He has strategic thinking and is able to assess tasks soberly and find optimal ways of their realization.

Do you work with companies outside your experience industries?

My systematic approach to understanding business requirements and organising teams works across industries. For example: I built a cross-functional team for a streaming service and established scalable processes that grew the product to 500K monthly active users in under 24 months — despite having no prior experience in streaming.
