Hey there!
I'm a product designer with over 10 years of experience under my belt. I'm currently the Head of Design at a large British company that makes AI-powered identity and document verification products. I'm a total tech nerd and love staying on top of the latest advancements – I really believe they can change the way we think and live! I'm also super passionate about creating branding and making it come to life on websites and apps. Plus, I've worked with print products too, designing exhibition stands for awesome events in Dubai and Hong Kong, and creating advertising modules for The Times (yep, THE Times!). I've worked with clients from all over the world – except Antarctica (but which I plan to visit and document my journey).
So if you need a pro to help you create a kickass brand or breathe new life into an old one, hit me up! I'm always ready for a challenge.
Artem Putilov | Branch Head Conso4s
I’m a web and mobile developer and also a director of a small software company. I worked with Nastia – ui/ux designer on multiple projects. I admire her passion and her style. She works superfast and super accurate. Her designes are flawless and beautiful. What i find best in her systematic approach. Every project she not just provides nice looking designes but she always builds a system of components where every detail is precise and thoughtful. She uses Figma like a god: you can literally take all the details from her Figma. She thinks like a programmer but she sees like an artist.
Graeme Rowe | Managed Nastia when I was CMO
Nastia is without question the most talented designer I have ever worked with over my 30 year marketing career. Her understanding of the latest design trends and being able to translate these into all aspects of marketing from websites, social posts, video, collateral and exhibitions is exceptional. Not only that but she is seriously fast at producing results and needs very little in terms of a brief. Nastia is also a very kind, considerate and hard working team player who cares about her work. I can't recommend her enough.
