Ruslan I.
UI UX Designer Web SaaS design & Mobile app design FinTech & SaaS UI
I’m a Senior UX/UI Designer with 6 years of experience designing complex web and mobile products, primarily in FinTech and B2B SaaS. Most of my background comes from long-term projects within design studios and as an in-house designer. I make UX decisions based on metrics, user feedback, and market benchmarks across multiple releases, focusing on real product outcomes rather than isolated visual concepts. This includes designing mobile apps for a top-tier U.S. bank with over 60 million users, complex crypto trading platforms (DEX & CEX), and scalable SaaS market-leading products. I previously worked at Clay, a design studio based in San Francisco, which has clients like Google, Slack, and Coinbase. I’ve also worked closely with startup teams, PMs, developers, and other stakeholders. I've led design processes end-to-end, from discovery and research to high-fidelity UI, design systems, and continuous product iteration based on real user feedback and business metrics My focus is on turning complex business and technical requirements into clear, user-friendly, and visually refined interfaces. How I help: • UX/UI Design for Web & Mobile products • Product UX for FinTech and B2B SaaS platforms • End-to-end design: research, flows, wireframes, and high-fidelity UI • Proficiency in Figma (scalable design systems built on components, auto-layouts, and variables) • UX grounded in accessibility standards and proven design patterns • Data-informed design based on analytics and user feedback • Strong foundations in visual hierarchy, typography, layout, and interaction design What makes my approach different: • I don’t treat design as decoration or task execution. My experience in studio and in-house environments trained me to think like an internal product team member, questioning requirements, aligning stakeholders, and designing solutions that scale over time. • My multidisciplinary background allows me to complement interfaces with motion, illustration, AI-generated visuals, and UX writing when it adds real value to the product. What ex-teammates say: “Ruslan showed high professionalism, autonomy, and strong responsibility for results. He excelled in FinTech UX/UI projects, met deadlines, conducted UX research, and was a proactive, collaborative team member.” 💬 Feel free to reach out if you’re looking for a designer who can go deep into your product, not just deliver screens.
