2024...2025

I led the design of a unified payment experience across web checkout, offline QR payments, and partner apps. I created a shared interaction model and design system to keep the experience consistent as new payment scenarios were added.

Yandex Pay Wallet and Contactless Payments

2023...2025

I designed Yandex Pay Wallet from concept to launch in the Yandex Pay app. I owned the experience for card tokenization and NFC payments.

Yandex Pay Autofill

2023...2024

I designed card autofill for Yandex Browser from scratch, enabling payments with cards saved in Yandex Pay. The goal was to provide a consistent payment experience across products and encourage adoption of Yandex Pay’s own cards.

Yandex Fintech for Business

2024...2025

In order for our partners to grow their business by accepting payments, taking additional funding and using promotion tools, I designed the B2B fintech platform. Easy onboarding and cross-sale tools allowed us to widely distribute the product.

About

I’ve spent over a decade designing fintech products — from payment flows to complex B2B financial systems — shaping experiences used by millions. I design for clarity and scale — turning complex systems into seamless user journeys.

I’m inspired by the experimentation and emotional depth of The Dark Side of the Moon album cover Pink Floyd, the precision and consistency of BMW logo BMW, and the perspective that comes from travel — where every new place sharpens how I see and create. That’s the kind of design I strive for.
