Hi, I'm Ivan.
Working remotely from Portland, Maine
I design software products and build systems that close the gap between design and engineering.
- AI-Augmented Workflows
- Figma to Storybook Delivery
- Fast Iteration Cycles
15+ Years of Product Design
After spending a good portion of my career in senior UX/UI design roles at a number of Silicon Valley tech companies, I currently work as an independent product designer, focusing on enterprise-grade software and SaaS platforms. I use Figma, Storybook, and various AI tools to accelerate build cycles for interactive prototypes and delivery of production-ready components for engineering teams. Tighter loop, faster iteration, less lost in translation.
Product Design
I work with founders and product teams to turn complex problems into intuitive web and mobile apps. From early discovery through high-fidelity UI, I bring a strategic lens to every design decision — grounded in user preferences and business objectives.
UI Component Systems
I design and build scalable component libraries that bring consistency to your apps and speed to your engineering team. Every component is documented, responsive, and built with real-world usage patterns in mind.
Prototype Development
I close the gap between design and engineering by building interactive prototypes. Using modern frameworks and AI-augmented workflows, I deliver functional builds so product teams can ship faster.
Ivan took our software from initial mockups to a well-designed web app in a matter of months, without compromising on quality. During 2+ years working together, he helped us iterate quickly, think through numerous design challenges, and ultimately scale to thousands of customers and become the leading platform for security and privacy compliance.
Working with Ivan has made a huge difference for our team at Splitero. His work on our marketing site and web app has been nothing short of impressive. Ivan has a knack for creating designs that not only look great but also resonate deeply with our audience. He has been an exceptional design partner, and we are incredibly thankful for his contributions to our projects.
Ivan was a pivotal design partner when we launched a new web application for Upwave. He did a great job understanding complex design requirements and incorporating feedback quickly to create designs our whole team loved. He is also very efficient and consistently delivered on time. Would absolutely choose to work with Ivan again!
