Senior Ui/Ux Designer

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

Let me introduce myself: I am Marina, a design enthusiast in Web3 and cross-platform applications. I started my career in 2004 and explored different areas of design. Since 2016, I have shifted my focus to the crypto space and product design.
In 2016, I joined an early-stage fintech startup. As a product designer, I redesigned 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 responsible for product design, style, and branding, created prototypes and user flows, and handled all aspects of UX/UI for iOS and Android. I also ensured visual consistency across media and platforms, supervised a graphic designer to deliver high-quality visuals for marketing, and put together UI kits.

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

More recently, I designed a browser extension (similar to MetaMask/Phantom) using an existing UI kit, along with supporting web pages and interfaces. I also created a meme exchange design from scratch, including token creation features. All designs are fully clickable prototypes built in Figma components.

I also worked as a Design Lead on multiple projects, contributing to the design of a staking platform, RWA UX, a mobile wallet, and Telegram Mini Apps.

I love seeing a finished product that truly benefits people, and I’m always excited to tackle new challenges in Web3 and cross-platform design.
