About
Hi there,
My name is Igor, and I am a product designer with over six years in the industry. I am deeply committed to developing and maintaining design systems that enhance user experience and ensure visual consistency for a wide range of businesses. My background includes working with both digital agencies and large international technology companies, giving me a diverse range of experience and skills.
In my free time, I enjoy exploring various hobbies that inspire and fuel my creativity, such as playing video games, coding, reading and photography. These activities not only provide me with a sense of relaxation but also help me to stay informed about the latest trends and technologies, and to bring new and innovative ideas to my work.
Experience
Xsolla
In September 2021, our team initiated a comprehensive effort to create and integrate a design system across all the company's products. At that time, the company was using separate UI kits for each product, which although functional, presented limitations and risks. The creation of a centralized design system was deemed necessary to address these challenges.
As someone who thrives on taking on new challenges, I was honored to be selected as a lead in this process.
Contributions
- Led an active phase of work on a company design system
- Created and maintained company design system and interface guidelines
- Active role in the planning and control of the development team
- Heavily involved in the process of integrating the design system into company products (strategic planning, brainstorming/creativity, communication with external teams)
Xsolla
In June of 2022, it became evident that the design system required a manager who could dedicate their time to advancing and overseeing the project.
I elected to take on the role of design system manager on a temporary basis.
