Product Designer · UX/UI
I’ve been designing interfaces since 2019 and working in product design since 2023. I take projects from user interviews and hypotheses all the way to final designs and a design system. Open to roles in any industry. I work remotely from Bishkek, English B2.

Result
Released as open source; we’re building our next side projects on it
Context
We started designing the system a couple of years ago with a developer colleague, for our side projects. At first it had only basic components like inputs, selects and modals, and then it grew along with the products and their logic. Over time we realized it could be released as open source, because from the start we had built the architecture to fit almost any business logic. We keep working on the system: from time to time we release new components, look for bugs and update the existing ones. My colleague chose the stack. He writes both frontend and backend in Rust, so the interfaces are in Rust too, on the Dioxus framework.
What I did
I designed the architecture of the tokens and components, their variants, states and visuals. I built everything in Figma first, then moved it into code with Claude and reviewed the result. For accessibility, I built in contrast, visible focus and keyboard navigation, and I made example pages in the playground.
