Bio
I'm Denys, a product designer based in Tbilisi, Georgia, working remotely with teams in the US and Ukraine. Since 2023 I've led design at Drawer AI, a seed-funded B2B platform for electrical construction takeoff and design, and I'm now moving into a Product Team Lead role.
[ Two or three more sentences: what you did before Drawer, what kind of problems you gravitate to, and one thing that isn't on your CV. ]
How I lead
Small teams don't need a design process; they need a few habits everyone keeps. Mine: write the problem down before opening Figma, put a number next to every bet, and review work in the product rather than in mockups.
- Outcomes over output. Every project starts with the metric we expect to move and how we'll know. If we can't name it, we scope down until we can.
- Design owns the words. Copy, empty states and error messages are part of the interface, not a hand-off. I write them with the layout.
- Feedback in the open. Critique happens in a shared channel, on a schedule, with the question written above the work.

Working with PMs and engineers
With product, I try to be the person who brings evidence rather than opinions: session replays, funnel drop-offs, support clusters. With engineering, I share early and often — a rough prototype on Monday beats a polished one on Friday — and I stay in the pull request until it ships.
[ Describe your rhythm: planning, weekly rituals, how you handle disagreement, how you make decisions with a distributed team across time zones. ]
