Artur Konariev

Most of the stories that artists and designers tell you are about how they haven't even learned to walk yet, but they've already started drawing, their parents noticed this amazing ability and sent them to a super-specialized art school, and they graduated with top grades. That's not my story. I didn't have a passion for drawing when I was a kid. At school, I asked my sister to draw for me just to pass the subject. It wasn't until university that I got to know Photoshop. I saw what it could do, it interested me and I began to explore it and the art universe around me. So I started learning about graphics, web design, and then UX/UI. I have two educational degrees that help me interact with design - philosophy and cognitive psychology. My first design education is in the Product Interface Design Course and after that, I studied UX and Human-Centered Design. The idea “to change life for the better” is the part of design thinking and my approach. I'm a perfectionist by nature. Therefore, I feel passionate about each of my projects. I’m a senior Product designer specializing in design thinking, user-friendly interface, and creative direction. I continue working and developing my skills in design.

We combine innovative, professional design, and the creation of emotional connections for a superior online experience. Our approach is based on solving complex business tasks with the help of a high-quality, inspiring and exclusive design with extremely high ROI. We are a full-cycle product agency delivering a beautiful design with a passion for startups & leading brands. We are a team of dedicated professionals creating the eye-catching and functional designs of a website, mobile, and desktop applications, and brand identity strategies. We combine expertise in UX, UI design, and web/mobile development to help you conceive, build, launch and steer digital products. Our team works with clients to help them build applications that are intuitive, scalable, and friendly. We design websites and apps based on design discovery, prototyping, and design development.

For me, design is about communicating feelings through visual sensations and unique experiences. The design provides an opportunity to create distinction, in visual communication, service, or product design by adding your personal touch. A good design should always be able to fulfill the needs of the users and clients. As a rule, we all agree that form follows function. In other words, design is about finding the most satisfying way to solve a problem or provide a response to a need. It is an art form that combines functionality and aesthetics.

In the past few years, I have become passionate about the design of the user interface. It is a challenging task to design a functional interface that is designed to meet the needs of a specific user, as I often have a hard time seeing things from the other person's perspective. But I also love working on UX projects, as it allows me to create a great product that is always satisfied by the end-users. I mainly work on digital projects, where I try to create solutions that connect people.

It is not always easy to choose a project or a collaboration. However, I am satisfied with the results of many of these projects. Edvoy was a turning point in my career, as it was the first multidisciplinary project that I worked on completely. Initially, the journey was hard, but it allowed me to meet some of the most interesting people in the industry. It also gave me the opportunity to work with some of the most innovative digital and analog technologies.

It was a web design project for a beauty salon: an exciting project but just a hell of a client. I had no experience in communicating with clients, and I thought that "The client is always right." However, this is not entirely true. Therefore, he put me through the wringer; there were a lot of corrections and concepts. As a result, I created my design concept, not according to the brief and vision of the client. Guess what - it was approved by the client right away with minor corrections. It was my little victory, but still, it was not the most pleasant experience. After that, I had thoughts to end up designing, but I decided that one client is not an indicator. After this, I pulled up my technical and communication skills a bit and continued to work with the design.

I prefer using Google Material Design, Human Interface by Apple, and the Design Thinking approach. I leave enough time for creativity, but firstly, the design must be functional. I usually follow these frameworks in my work. They are especially effective when developing mobile and desktop applications. It’s essential to do things that may be easily implemented later, and that will work well, the sequence and rules are crucial for the developers. I can provide that, and it does all the chemistry between us.

It is hard to say, but I believe that once the customer trusts you enough, you can reach the creative peak. After giving you a track, you can then experiment with different solutions to the more canonical ones.

I believe in the strength of collaboration and I combine empathizing, defining, ideating, and strategy with designing and testing.

Honestly, it's something I've never thought about. I don't think I can identify a single one, it's more a whirlwind of emotions that can vary from project to project. There is a concept in Psychology called "Flow" that refers to the state of being in the zone, which is the state where one is fully engaged in an activity. This is because, in this state, one is absorbing everything that one does, and this process results in a complete transformation of one's sense of time, which helps me do my job.

Sometimes, it can be hard to be completely satisfied with the results of a project. However, at other times, it is also a good feeling to know that you have delivered a product that the customer needs. The goal of every project is to reach its goal, and once it does, magic happens.

A successful design is something that can be attributed to the appreciation of the end-users. I believe that my opinion and that of the customer must be technical and critical, but then the user's appreciation will always have the last word.

I think, first impression matters, but I would advise focusing on usability. It is a make-or-break issue. For me, good design is functional design. I always use "it works" and "it doesn't work" as an objective judgment meter. I would never describe a design as ugly or beautiful, as these are not the ideal points of view.

I design solutions to cater to the individuals' needs. Well-designed products improve how people accomplish tasks and as a result, the operation of society as a whole. A good designer can also be a powerful tool for organizations that are committed to addressing various environmental and social issues. In our small way, I try to make sure that our clients are aware of the importance of being socially and environmentally responsible. This is because, like everyone else, the designer is expected to behave responsibly. We can convey complicated things in a language that is easy to understand, and also, through trial and error, improve existing principles and things. For example, a designer can create a universal type of bottle that, during production, will use 50% less plastic but remain convenient and functional.

Obviously, over the past century, the design field has evolved and expanded. I guess this tendency will get even a faster pace in the future. To my mind, in the near future design will get more paramount. It will address even more complex problems. Design is not only a beautiful cover; the design is a problem-solving tool. Technologies like AR / VR / MR / XR will change major industries like medicine, architecture, transportation, space, and the automotive industry. An excellent example of Elon Musk with his ideas. Do not also forget about Biodesign: unity with nature is now more relevant than ever.

Recently, I have not devoted much time to exhibitions and publications, but I hope this year to fix everything. My designs have already won a few awards at the A’Design Award & Competition and other award exhibitions, and I will not stop there. Follow the news, and soon you will be able to learn more about new exhibitions and publications first.

My main source of inspiration is the people, as well as the endless variety of stimuli that can be found around me. I also spend a lot of time on sites like Dribbble and Behance, where other designers share their work. This helps me to look at my work more objectively. But it should be clarified that the designer is not an artist. We do not need muse or external factors to create. Designers use principles, guidelines, laws of physics, and codes. Until the moment of “Creative,” there are as many as five stages of UX processes that create the basis of the product, and only one stage is the creation of the visual part of the design.

I never stop exploring myself. Every new task opens up new sources in me. I would say I value simplicity. I strongly believe in the principle that' genus is based on simplicity. Each project is a news story. I can’t use styles from the children's online store for the banking system project. I can say that the approach to working with each project has a style. I must always be able to offer the most suitable solution for the customer. This is the approach that I developed for myself over the years of practice and which I use to make projects successful.

I used to live in Kyiv. Ukraine is my native country, and I feel 100% Ukrainian mentally. I was forced to leave my home country because of the war. The uneducated russians decided to destroy Ukraine, me, my family, my children, and the entire centuries-old culture, but their dreams will never come true. At the moment, I see vast perspectives for design in Ukraine. Now all Ukrainian designers are broadcasting to the world through their work, collecting millions of views, subscribers, and money to help. Our country has a huge historical and cultural background in design. There are a lot of talented young professionals capable of delivering quality products. This fact inspires and motivates me to develop in the field.

Different collaborations. I create beautiful designs with equal passion for startups and leading brands. I help my clients’ businesses to grow and develop through distinctive, meaningful, and enduring design. Whether they run a multinational corporation, a small independent venture, or something in between, if you’d like to collaborate on the design, redesign, or refinement of their visual branding, it’d be great to see if we’re the right fit.

One of the most important things that I can give to companies is to make sure that they are hiring the right professional. This is because, ideally, a good designer will want to work for you in the best possible way. However, these should not limit the work of the individual who will be working for you. The first step in choosing a good designer is to look at his or her portfolio. Aside from the portfolio, the other factors that a client should consider are the working method and the approach that the designer takes.

The process that a designer uses can vary depending on the type of project that they are working on. However, it can be done simply and can be divided into five phases: empathize, define, ideate, prototype, and test. Although it may seem like a linear process, every project should be iterative. This means that I will continue to develop the designs as I gather more information about the end-users. For instance, if I receive feedback during testing, I might need to look into developing new ideas.

One of the most important objects that I carry with me when it comes to design is my Macbook Pro. This is because it is an extension of my mind and body. Being in focus mode is always an asterisk task, especially when you're on the road, in a public place, or just have kids. That's why I use BEATS Studio3 Wireless, they always save me in the most stressful situations. The other things are not professionally related, but they are part of my routine and I enjoy using them. A morning cup of coffee brewed in the V60 gives me energy for the whole day.

Working remotely I have to do a lot of things by myself. My day starts with brewing coffee, taking the child to the kindergarten, then a quick greeting to my colleagues. Then the most exciting part begins. The first thing I do is read the emails and decide how to set the day, then work until lunchtime. After the lunch break, my work begins again. It usually involves writing emails, and calls, meeting with clients and working on projects that must always be ready ahead of schedule. At the end of the day, I usually head to the kindergarten to pick up my children. I divide myself between the gym and love life, and now and then I can even see some friends who are now starting to doubt my existence!

As for young designers, my advice is 'be dedicated to what you do'. Explore, learn different technologies, follow the news, read the blogs by seniors, and read a lot. Now there is a lot of information and literature, audio, and video content. These are sources of insider information in the public domain. Use it if it is available. The best way to test and improve your skills is to work. Do not be lazy, and you will be rewarded. Find an agency of your liking, where you can work in a team, and ask a lot of questions to senior and experienced who have already gotten bumps. It will be an invaluable experience. As to those who decided to hire a young professional I would advise keeping calm, being appreciative and supportive, and not forgetting that we all were young professionals some time ago.

As a true fan of my work, I can see only positive aspects here. Clients come to me with business problems, and with the help of design, I offer them business solutions. Sometimes these are global changes that directly affect/help users, and that's cool. The negative side of being a designer is that we are not artists and cannot just do whatever we want because there are tasks that need to be addressed. Besides, the designer’s job is not only to create, but it’s also sales, management, and marketing, which are quite tiring because you can’t just relax and create.

One of the most important factors that a designer should consider when it comes to developing a project is empathy. This is because, to come up with a solution, a designer must first experience the situation.

This is a controversial question. Creativity is, of course, an important skill, but it is not necessary to be a genius to work as a designer. Now the designer is more of a technical specialty, so cramming or learning and understanding the basic rules and practice will help to become a good designer.

I rely on sites like Dribbble and Behance for inspiration. They allow me to create mood boards and collections that are useful for the creative process. Miro, Figma, Sketch, and InVision are the main tools in my work. Another tool that I use is Jira, which allows me to manage my work even when I am working with multiple agencies and freelancers.

There are many tasks and distractions, especially when you work for yourself or own an agency. During a pandemic, many office workers felt how it's like to be focused when Netflix, a sofa, and a refrigerator, seduce you, or when children think you have a day off. Usually, I plan out each day’s activities and try to stick to the plan. Plus, for me, it is very important to find the right time for the right activity to stay productive all day long. It is also important not only to plan but also to take stock of what has been done. You can determine which tasks you have done and which have not, and why. Thus, you can understand what blocked you and exclude these factors.

It depends on the object's complexity. It may take from several days up to several months, actually. At this time, when the world is changing rapidly and dictating its own rules, I cannot develop some projects for months. Business needs to offer quick solutions that are relevant now. We killed a perfectionist. We took maximum responsibility and decisions on ourselves. For us, the speed of response, relevance, and strength of an idea is more critical than a licked creative.

How much does it cost? Why is it so expensive/long? Many, not all, customers have no understanding of what designers do. Many people think that the designer opens Photoshop, sits at the computer for several minutes, and everything is ready. Design is something everyone can do, but not everyone has time for this. This mistaken vision has existed for a long time. In such cases, I try to explain the process of creating a design, or rather a solution to a business problem. As soon as they learn some details of the process, and how thoughtful and vital it is for the development and launch of a successful project, they cease to be so frivolous about design.

With each new project, I am becoming a little better than yesterday. I always try to implement new technology in a project and create a new concept. In this way, it gets possible not to stop and develop all the time. One such project was the development of an AR application for LG Uplus along with the EyeCandyLab team from Augmented Reality. Then it was my first touch of Additional Reality not as a user but as a designer. This project gave me deeper knowledge and skills in using new technology in practice. Now I use this experience to make new projects more successful. By adding new functionality, applications become better and more popular as they solve even more tasks.

One of my favorite clients is LG Uplus. Through my work with agencies and freelancers, I was able to connect with some of the most promising companies in the world such as Helen Marlen Group, EAK Digital, EyeCandyLab, Augmented Reality, Stadium, Interview-Maker, Wheels for Wishes, InstyMeds, Comfort Life, Piastrix, Meela (Juno baby), Shopafor, Edvoy, IECabroad.

I’m always curious about the result. Thus, I enjoy finding new ways of doing things or solving issues.

Every year, I set new goals. However, I also believe that it is important to get lost to reach your goals, exploring and daring are as important as planning. In the future, I hope to continue developing my brand and increase my visibility.

I firmly believe that sharing and constructive comparison can help people expand their horizons and develop new ideas. It can also help them identify areas of their creativity that they may not have considered before. Everything I do immediately affects my teammates. Thus, there is no division between developing myself and developing my team at the moment. We are improving and we are doing our best.

I have been working on an exciting NFT marketplace lately and would love to share its details with you, but I can't do that yet. Stay tuned so you do not miss out.

They can contact me through my contact form on the website or by email. Or on Facebook, Instagram, Dribbble, and Behance.

I am grateful for your interesting questions that gave me a wonderful possibility to present myself. If you have exciting ideas that you want to implement or you need to reformat, or improve the business, my team, and I will help you succeed in this and start/restart your products.

Over the past ten years, I have been working with some great companies and developing new products. I have also been able to work side by side with them to create new projects for my own company. I love working on projects that I can contribute to. I am passionate about design and I work hard to improve my skills. I am a senior product designer that specializes in a user-friendly interface, design thinking, and creative direction. Aside from being a designer, I also can create a prototype and manage the entire process of a project, including testing and documenting the entire process. For instance, I designed a mobile app to support and manage medical, sports, and military exoskeletons for Roam company, and among my clients, I have LG Uplus and Helen Marlen.

I’ve never really had a career in any other field or seriously considered another one. I was fortunate to grow up with computers and the internet at home and knew I wanted to work with them as a career. The design seemed like a good balance between complex problem solving (science and technology) and the open-ended activity (arts) that I enjoyed. Despite being an introvert, I am incredibly fascinated by observing how people and communities think and behave and I knew the design had a huge influence on that. Now I have two degrees that help me interact with the design process. One of these is a cognitive psychology degree and the other is a philosophy degree that helps me interact with the design. After graduating from a product interface design course, I went on to study Human-centered Design and UX. The idea of design thinking is to change lives for the better.

I would describe the design process in 10 simple words (at the same time steps): Understand, Discovery, Research, Mindmapping, Low-fidelity wireframe, Analyze, High-fidelity prototype, Design, Launch, Testing. Of course, behind each of these words are complex processes and design sub-steps. All of them are important, and I always try to follow them since they are 70% successful; the rest must be covered by empathy, idea, innovation, and detailed work. I like creating concepts in general. At first, I work on the overall idea. I like all the processes on the way of turning this idea into something meaningful and functional at the same time. I never get bored with this routine.

I have never thought about the various emotions that come with the design process. However, through the various phases of a project, I can easily identify some of the triggers that can affect me. According to a psychology concept known as flow, one is in a state of being in which they are fully engaged in an activity. This process helps me do my job and improve my sense of time.

I never stop exploring myself. Every new task opens up new sources in me. I would say I value simplicity. For me, the design is about communicating feelings through visual sensations and unique experiences. The design provides an opportunity to create distinction, in visual communication, service, or product design by adding your personal touch. One of the main reasons I think simplicity is beneficial is because it allows me to feel that I am controlling my environment. This is because when dealing with objects, it is important for me to feel that I am in complete control. It is also a process that involves digging a tunnel to get to the bottom of complexity. To be truly simple, you need to first get to the very depths. For instance, if you are not sure what to include in a design, then you might end up creating something too complex. However, it is better to study it, and then get rid of the secondary components.

I started as a UX Consultant I got to work with user surveys and information architecture on how the water site was organized and how it could be improved for a better user experience. I got to learn how UX and UI change within a large corporation. Strange as it may seem it helped me to understand myself better. This experience assured me that I want to work and improve in the sphere of design.

Even if you are not a product designer, it is still a good idea to learn a lot. For instance, if you are a photographer, then you will be better able to coordinate with the photographer when it comes to shooting your product. Having this knowledge will allow you to plan the shot and avoid making mistakes. One of the most important tools that I have is a digital reflex, which allows me to take photos of my progress on a project. Having programming skills can also help me complete projects faster. Also, by learning programming, you will be able to identify what can be done and what can be done with a limited amount of resources. If you have worked on some projects, then you have a good idea of how suppliers work. This will allow you to design projects that are ready to be produced later. Also, by knowing a bit of everything, you can easily coordinate a group of people with the right expertise.

The design should also be successful not just because it looks good, but also because it fulfills its purpose. I believe that there is nothing more valuable than a good design that meets the needs of the users. Even if you are not good at what you do, it does not matter as long as you are constantly improving and learning. This is the only way to become great in the design industry. One of the most important factors that you can consider when it comes to becoming a great designer is to continuously improve your skills.

Morning, I usually check my mail and open my journal. There, I keep track of all of the tasks that I am working on and the priority that I have left to complete. I then organize the work of the people that I am working with on a project, and I also write down ideas for new projects. This is a great tool that helps me keep focused on my long-term projects.

Over the years, I got a considerable number of sources with ideas, inspiration sources, and media providing the latest news within the sphere. I look through them often. I’m also subscribed to different news portals, so new designs skip through my newsfeed all the time. A major role is played by research and the search for solutions to new problems, Dribbble, Behance, and Pinterest help me in this. One of the most important factors that you can consider when it comes to becoming a great designer is to continuously improve your skills. Before starting a project, I always try to identify what the users need and what solutions would be most beneficial to them.

Design is really good not just when it looks good. It also needs to fulfill its purpose. To my mind, all the processes contribute to the overall success of a design project. A good design cannot be measured finitely – multiple perspectives are needed. But if the design solves the business tasks that were set before us, this is half the success. Of course, it is necessary to accurately formulate at the beginning of a business task, because the right goal should be clear to everyone at the beginning. After the research that we conduct, we develop a strategy and determine all the factors and business tasks that need to be solved. Someone can also add if the design is profitable - this is a success. I agree with this because one of the business goals is to make a profit. Otherwise, what is the use of all this?

A new design can take a long time to develop, as it can take a variety of factors to determine its success. I generally consider a design finished when your UX process is done, once it fulfills the expectations of its users. But design development or product development as a whole is not the end, because there is another, last but not least important stage, which is the Testing stage. This is a necessary stage where you test the viability of the design and the product, you see how users interact with it, and where they have difficulties. This is the point where the product goes from "I think the user will use the interface this way" to "The user actually uses the interface that way". If before you used frameworks, knowledge, and experience to predict user behavior, now you have the ability to see how user-friendly your product really is.

With each new project, I am becoming a little better than yesterday. I always try to implement new technology in a project and create a new concept. In this way, it gets possible not to stop and develop all the time. One such project was the development of an AR application for LG Uplus along with the EyeCandyLab team from Augmented Reality. Then it was my first touch of Additional Reality not as a user but as a designer. This project gave me deeper knowledge and skills in using new technology in practice. Now I use this experience to make new projects more successful. By adding new functionality, applications become better and more popular as they solve even more tasks.

I like the design by Jonathan Ive. Everyone should understand that the point here is not only in design as a visual component but also in user experience. His work is functional and thought out to the smallest detail. This is what I call excellent design.

I used to live in Kyiv, and I would say that this city can inspire everyone. What concerns my musical taste, it is an integral part of mine. Thus, I think there is a piece of music inspiration in each of my design projects. I wouldn't get an award for a dating app that matches couples based on their musical preferences if I didn't find inspiration in my favorite music. I design solutions to cater to the individuals' needs. Well-designed products improve how people accomplish tasks and as a result, the operation of society as a whole. Thus, my main sphere of responsibility is efficiency and comfort. I can convey complicated things in a language that is easy to understand, and also, through trial and error, improve existing principles and things. As for the lifestyle, many probably imagine the usual everyday life of designers as parties in the community, clubs, exhibitions, and unbridled creative creation “under something.” But this is not so, at least with me, hard work on projects, research, teamwork, family affairs, courses, design festivals, and sometimes free time.

My business philosophy is focused on solving complex business problems using the help of a high-quality design, inspiring, and exclusive design. I have a reliable partner, Yuliia Mishchenko, and I feel quite comfortable working with her and our team. Usually, I am looking for people whom I can trust, who have the same ambitions to develop a common cause like me, and who will cover the expertise in those industries in which we do not have the necessary skills. This means I can trust my ideas and thoughts, I can trust them to do important tasks, I can trust the perspectives and the future of the company which I built with my co-founder. I guess when you find a perfect match that concerns your team there should be no difficulties in working together. I would advise choosing a designer according to your own goals and ideas. Of course, knowledge and experience are important, but more important is the common vibe.

I design solutions to cater to the individuals' needs. Well-designed products improve how people accomplish tasks and as a result, the operation of society as a whole. A good designer can also be a powerful tool for organizations that are committed to addressing various environmental and social issues.

There are lots of positive experiences that the A'Design Award provides! I believe is good to take part in competitions for the progress they provide. This positive tension and stress motivate and reinforce the desire to design even better products and improve. In addition, you get new experience, acquaintances, recognition, and opportunities.

Most of the stories that artists and designers tell you are about how they haven't even learned to walk yet, but they've already started drawing, their parents noticed this amazing ability and sent them to a super-specialized art school, and they graduated with top grades. That's not my story. I didn't have a passion for drawing when I was a kid. At school, I asked my sister to draw for me just to pass the subject. It wasn't until university that I got to know Photoshop. I saw what it could do, it interested me and I began to explore it and the art universe around me. So I started learning about graphics, web design, and then UX/UI. I have two educational degrees that help me interact with design - philosophy and cognitive psychology. My first design education is in the Product Interface Design Course and after that, I studied UX and Human-Centered Design. The idea “to change life for the better” is the part of design thinking and my approach. I'm a perfectionist by nature. Therefore, I feel passionate about each of my projects. I’m a senior Product designer specializing in design thinking, user-friendly interface, and creative direction. I continue working and developing my skills in design.

The most obvious reason is that you get paid for being creative. Although sometimes design can be a procedural discipline, it does allow you to flex your creativity on an ongoing, daily basis. One of the very best things about the design world, in general, is that it's constantly evolving and redefining itself. Every day is different and interesting when you are a designer.

I’ve never really had a career in any other field or seriously considered another one. I was fortunate to grow up with computers and the internet at home and knew I wanted to work with them as a career. The design seemed like a good balance between complex problem solving (science and technology) and the open-ended activity (arts) that I enjoyed. Despite being an introvert, I am incredibly fascinated by observing how people and communities think and behave and I knew the design had a huge influence on that.

I mainly work on digital projects, which are constantly evolving. I love working on them because they are very challenging and have a strong sense of style. I like all the processes on the way of turning the idea into something meaningful and functional at the same time.

To my mind, great designers understand that it takes creativity plus an understanding of business to create great designs. They understand that design is 80% research and 20% execution - and that often the best solution is one that a competitor or similar company has already invested in solving.

The design process is very important to a successful project. It not only needs to look good, but it also needs to fulfill its purpose. A good design should not only be able to solve a particular task, but it should also be able to help solve the other business and users’ problems. It's important to formulate a strategy and a goal at the beginning of a business project so that everyone knows what the goal should be. After conducting a thorough analysis, I come up with a strategy that will help solve the various problems that come up during the course of the project. Someone can also add if the design is profitable - this is a success. I agree with this because one of the business tasks is to make a profit. Otherwise, what is the use of all this? I always use the term "it works" and "it doesn't work" as an objective judgment, and I would never describe a design as ugly or beautiful.

It is quite difficult to communicate the value of good design in a quantifiable way. Traditionally value is often looked at as ROI, meaning, the difference between what you spend and what you get back is your direct value. I guess the value of good design is the opportunity to create meaningful first impressions, help you differentiate yourself from your competitors, and can solve problems.

There are many areas of activity that appeal to me and in which I would like to increase my presence. For example, government installations, hospitals, transportation, education, and retail, all use old-style software applications. They are not functional, not convenient, challenging to use, and terrible in appearance. I would like to solve these problems with a practical, user-oriented, visually pleasing design. The work of these employees would become much simpler and more convenient; this would solve many problems that exist in many countries.

Create a flamethrower, launch a car into space already done. Colonize Mars; I just do not have time to prepare everything faster than Elon. I'm not sure what it will be, but there will be something interesting.

Keep it simple or 'genius is based on simplicity. Why do I think simplicity is good? Because when I am dealing with objects, it is vital for me to feel that I am controlling them. By ordering chaos, you find a way to subjugate the subject. Simplicity is not only a visual style. This is not minimalism or lack of clutter. It is necessary to dig a tunnel in the bowels of complexity to achieve simplicity. To be truly simple, you need to get to the very depths. For example, if you are missing some cogs, you run the risk of creating something overly complex and confusing. But it is much better to focus on simplicity, to study it, to figure out its components. To get rid of the secondary, you need to penetrate the essence of the subject. Jonathan Ive

Being in focus mode is always an asterisk task, especially when you're on the road, in a public place, or just have kids. That's why I use BEATS Studio3 Wireless, they always save me in the most stressful situations. The other things are not professionally related, but they are part of my routine and I enjoy using them. A morning cup of coffee brewed in the V60 gives me energy for the whole day.

It is not always easy to choose a project or a collaboration. However, I am satisfied with the results of many of these projects. Edvoy was a turning point in my career, as it was the first multidisciplinary project that I worked on completely. Initially, the journey was hard, but it allowed me to meet some of the most interesting people in the industry. It also gave me the opportunity to work with some of the most innovative digital and analog technologies.

The design should also be successful not just because it looks good, but also because it fulfills its purpose. I believe that there is nothing more valuable than a good design that meets the needs of the users. Even if you are not good at what you do, it does not matter as long as you are constantly improving and learning. This is the only way to become great in the design industry. One of the most important factors that you can consider when it comes to becoming a great designer is to continuously improve your skills.

I would become a businessman and client. Design is the same business. The business has many directions, art, paintings, finance, and retail. All of them have stages, regardless of the field of activity. Before starting the project, it is necessary to do a study. Study the market, products, users, and competitors, write a business plan and, following the steps, implement everything that I planned— the same as the design processes.

For me, design is about communicating feelings through visual sensations and unique experiences. The design provides an opportunity to create distinction, in visual communication, service, or product design by adding your personal touch. design is to find the most functional, and the aesthetically satisfying way where possible, to solve a problem or respond to a need.

Unfortunately, I did not have a mentor whom I could rely on and count on for help. I had to achieve everything myself, and I am happy that I went this way. I met many interesting people, visited many places, and solved complex problems that made me who I am now.
