Hi, I’m Denis

I’ve been designing things for most of my adult life. I started as a freelance graphic designer, then moved into digital products.

After several years as a freelance UX/UI designer, I began working with teams on longer-term projects—staying with products through new features, redesigns, and releases.

That work has taken me across healthcare, marketplaces, enterprise tools, and AI products. I get involved in understanding the problem, figuring out the flows, designing the interface, and working with developers to bring it to life. User research, feedback, and analytics help shape the decisions along the way.

I do use AI.

I use it to talk through ideas, clarify requirements, and turn rough concepts into working prototypes. It also helps me bring my Figma designs into code, create visual assets, and edit or review my writing.

The process is usually a conversation: I give it context, try the result, point out what feels wrong, and refine it. Sometimes that means rethinking a flow. Sometimes it’s getting one small interaction right.

I love tennis.

I’m an avid tennis player and watcher. That’s my biggest passion — my source of energy and mental health. I try to recharge 3 times a week.
