Senior Ui/Ux Designer

20+ years in design, since 2016 in crypto space. My core skills are SaaS apps design, cross-platform mobile UI/UX design, dapps, design systems and even Telegram mini-apps.

Let me introduce myself: I am Marina, a design enthusiast in Web3 and cross-platform apps. I started my career in 2004 and tried my hand at different areas of design. Since 2016, I have shifted focus to crypto space and product design. 


In 2016, I joined an early-stage fintech startup. As a product designer, I was lucky to redesign an analytical platform for the cryptocurrency markets. In 2017, our product team expanded its user base from thousands to over 100,000 in just a few months. In 2018, I was promoted to Head of Design. 


I was in charge of product design, styles, and brand, created prototypes, user flows, and all related to UX/UI for iOS and Android, oversaw visual consistency across all media and platforms, and supervised the graphic designer to deliver the best visuals for the marketing department, put together UI kits.


After that, I joined a DeFi startup dedicated to creating various products, where I focused on a user-friendly Web3 interface from scratch. We successfully delivered Web2 UI/UX experiences for Web3 users.


The most valuable thing in my work is to see a finished product that benefits people.
