I joined Yandex Plus Gaming — a cloud gaming service within an ecosystem of 100M+ monthly users — to elevate and align the core product experience. I quickly conducted a UX audit, identified key issues, and orchestrated a cross-functional redesign with the Art Director, product owners, CPO, CTO, developers, and QA.

We streamlined user flows, modernized the interface, and reframed the product direction. The updated concept secured approval from leadership, allowing the service to advance into active development.

Impact

– Led the redesign of core gaming flows with the Art Director

– Unified product, engineering, and QA around a shared UX model

– Refined navigation and interaction patterns for better coherence

– Delivered a validated concept that unlocked further investment

– Shaped the next-phase roadmap grounded in user needs

I worked closely with the Design Director at Sovcombank — a major digital bank with a mobile app used by over 5 million people — to explore new product directions and strengthen the overall user experience. My role focused on R&D, where I shaped early concepts, tested ideas, and built prototypes that helped the team understand which directions were worth pursuing.

I combined conceptual thinking with emotional design, interaction patterns, and motion principles to clarify complex flows and enhance how users navigate the main app.

Impact

– Supported R&D initiatives across key product areas

– Created concept explorations that revealed new UX opportunities

– Developed motion and interaction prototypes that improved communication of design ideas

– Helped refine the long-term vision for the core mobile experience
