dmitri.bilyk@gmail.comGreat user experiences are the lifeblood of any successful, growing business, especially in software, where the bar is constantly pushed higher by the top software companies that invest heavily in design talent.As a product designer, I help uncover problems that customers experience while interacting with digital products. Then, I help design and validate solutions and improvements so that over time, customers are more satisfied, engaged, and loyal to your business. Since software is systematic by nature, the goal is always to design scalable, flexible, consistent design systems that can grow over time without breaking patterns or frustrating the user with inconsistencies, inefficiencies, or worst of all - not addressing the actual problems they face.DEVELOPMENTAs a self-taught developer, I’ve also spent a lot of time learning how software is actually built. From iOS prototypes in Swift, to Node.js/Socket.io apps, Unity games and React.js web apps and static sites - I have a strong grasp of what goes into the actual implementation of human-centered design. I've used this skillset to write Sketch plugins, create prototyping tools, build my own portfolio sites, as well as demonstrate actual coded prototypes to engineers to help them understand the design requirements using language and tools that they understand best.TEAMWORKAll this knowledge makes it easy for me to communicate with all stakeholders, and understand the unique pain points of actually building and managing digital products using Agile. I approach teamwork with the same curiosity and open-mindedness as the design work itself. If team collaboration, communication, empathy and flexibility fails, the product is very likely to fail as well.SKILLSET• Wireframing• UX flow spec'ing• Lo, mid & high fidelity prototyping• Problem & solution discovery• Stakeholder interviews• Exploratory and task-based user testing• Analytics• Logic diagrams• Sitemapping• Journey mapping• Design systems• Competitive analysisTOOLSET• Figma• JIRA• Confluence• Principle• LucidChart / Draw.io• AfterEffects• Notion• Sketch• InVision• Origami Studio• Mural• Adobe CC• Excel / Sheets• Adobe Analytics
