Lead Designer @DataArt

Leading the design team that provides the full range of design solutions and services mainly for the USA and European markets. We advocate the design thinking approach, which means that we start with market research and users’ interviewing to identify insights. Workshops with stakeholders to figure out business goals and establish design criteria the next. Ideation, prototyping and testing our solution is a must step in our process. When we have got all the information — we can start designing UI. Iterative, data-driven design improvement based on customers\' feedback is the last step. During my work time in DataArt, our team has risen from 7 to 15 team members. I have been involved in the hiring process to find the best people for our team. I wrote a useful document (Design guide) with a stack of rules for cooperation between designers. I helped some of them to build a career roadmap. In 3-6 months all teammates increased their skills and knowledge through my mentoring. Under my supervision, our team has been designing new experiences and interfaces for numbers of projects. From promising start-ups (usually Mobile apps) to big enterprises (mainly Web projects) with 10M+ users. Also, we have been rethinking and rebuilding our internal tools for analytics, education, management, marketing, etc.
