Hello internet, my name is Roman.

I'm a Product Designer with 6+ years of experience designing web and mobile products across fantasy sports, i-gaming, edtech, and SaaS. I specialize in building design systems from scratch, simplifying complex back-office workflows, and shaping products in close collaboration with developers, stakeholders, and business teams.

I enjoy working in autonomous teams where design is part of product thinking, not just execution. Over the years, I've helped launch 0→1 products, improve existing platforms at scale, and turn complex systems into experiences that feel intuitive and easy to use.
