People about working w/ me

Ivan Zviahin

Design Manager Tinkoff

As a Product Designer Veniamin did a great job in contribution to vision of the product, was leading all design activities. Great design and collaborations skills, strong understanding of technical aspects and software discovery and development processes. I would definitely recommend Veniamin for IC and MGMT design position and strongly believe in his expertise.

Oleg Alexandrov

ex Design-director MAX, Founder @hiry_agency

Veniamin is a great designer who is a pleasure to work with. He came to a retail project with an audience of over 1 million to help create a new loyalty program. After a successful MVP Veniamin delegated the work to another designer and focused on the product teams to help them with processes and product design. Veniamin touched every part of the mobile app and improved many parts of the user experience. While working for the company, he created an understanding of the task. It's a design process that helps designers understand the task better and synchronize more easily with Stakeholders. Veniamin is a team person who cares about the future of the product. I recommend him as a responsible and professional designer.

Kate Tuhai

Design Lead @Sizze.io, Red Dot Winner

Veniamin is an excellent product designer. We worked with Ben on an application for hotels, where he developed the application UX/UI from the very beginning. Veniamin works closely with product teams and product owners to better understand goals and deliver the best results. In his work, Veniamin showed excellent understanding of tasks, prototypes, flows, design, tests and reviews. Veniamin can be entrusted with any task, because he shows examples of skill in ownership and takes responsibility for the result. I am ready to recommend him as a specialist and was glad to work together.

Pavel Babiy

ex-CPO Pyatorochka

Veniamin is a true professional. From the first meeting it was clear that we would work together. You will immediately understand that he is a creative person who has excellent taste not only in design, but also in music. Veniamin what is especially important, it is very systematic, thanks to it a brief (understanding) for designers appeared on our product, which added understanding not only to designers, but also to products. He structured the process of working on layouts, putting them into work and checking the final result. What is also important is that we began to think not only about current tasks and how to draw them correctly, but how the section and the product will develop further in order to lay the correct functional architecture. He had sufficient authority among both designers and products. I would have been ready to take him to my product, but he decided to relocate.
