About Lee Chakov

For over 10 years I’ve worked with digital agencies and startups in New York City, San Francisco and Los Angeles. I\'ve designed apps and websites for major brands in the fitness, high-tech, entertainment, finance, real estate and sports industries.I like working on complex projects that solve problems in really elegant ways. As a product designer, I view my job not as just \"making something pretty\", but truly making something a joy to use. Good design is a result of truly understanding the problem from the user\'s point of view and crafting a solution that supports their needs. The fact that it looks good is a bi-product of that.Specialties: Product Design, Visual design, art direction, conceptual thinking, user experience, wire framing, prototypingTechnical skills include expertise with Sketch, Adobe Creative Suite, Principle, Abstract, Invision, Zeplin, HTML/CSS/JSPlatforms: Native iOS and Android apps, E-commerce, Responsive web design, Large cms-driven sites
