Ways to work together
From smallest to largest. Most work starts with a teardown or a project.

| Teardown | For products that quietly went somewhere nobody meant to go. | I go through your product and your site and write up what's wrong, what to cut and what to fix, in order of priority. It takes about a week, and all I need from you is access to the product. If the problem isn't design but your positioning, copy or market, I'll say so. |
|---|---|---|
| Project | For a defined piece of work: a product's key screens, a marketing site, a brand, a pitch deck. | Scoped and priced up front. Product work is best started early, before a team commits, while the problem can still change shape and subtraction is cheap. I can build working prototypes and small sites; the product itself stays with your engineers. |
| Partnership | For small teams that need design, and someone to lead it, on an ongoing basis. | Monthly work, including the parts nobody writes into the spec: hiring, mentoring, getting reviews to actually review. It usually grows out of a teardown or a project. |
Over a decade of design at consultancies (EPAM, SoftServe) and product companies (RingCentral, and OpenVPN, where I led design for about three years). Now I work independently, mostly with early-stage founders.
Based in Lviv, Ukraine. Available for calls during European working hours and US East Coast mornings. I take on one or two projects at a time.
