Briefly

Senior product designer with over 15 years of experience in fintech, proptech, SaaS and AI-enabled products. I design complex digital systems: mobile wallets, financial platforms, B2B accounts, admin tools and conversational AI flows - from early discovery to production.

I combine a strong product mindset, design systems experience, and cross-functional work with AI-assisted workflow to move faster, reduce process friction, and deliver scalable, humane products.

Experience

Aleksandr Nevskii (Web Developer License) · Dubai, UAE

Freelance Product Designer · AI-assisted Product Builder
November 2024 - present

I work independently as a freelance product designer and AI-assisted builder under a licensed Web Developer entity in Dubai (DMCC).
I design end-to-end digital products for AI, fintech and creator economy startups - from UX strategy and user scenarios to UI systems, prototypes and developer handoff.
Worked under contract with Fundmates — a startup from the USA, where he designed an AI-powered funding platform for YouTube creators, including:
- conversational AI flow, which automates funding deals right inside the chat;
- web interface, where creators can sell the future income of a particular video to investors.
Led product design for The Driven Podcast, shaping the digital experience, branding direction and content-oriented interfaces for the founder-focused media product.
I actively integrate AI tools into the design process: research synthesis, UX copy, ideation, prototyping and implementation support (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Midjourney, Sora, Recraft, Cursor IDE).
I collect scalable component libraries and lightweight design systems to speed up delivery and make implementation cleaner and more predictable.
I work with local and international clients, manage several projects simultaneously and deliver production-ready results at the speed of a startup.
