About

I design products. And build them myself.

I’m Denys, a product designer with 4+ years of experience — B2B platforms, e-commerce, and sites and tools I build myself.

I start from the logic, not the layout: research and information architecture first, interface second.

The other half happens in code: I design in HTML and CSS and ship working front-ends with AI as a co-pilot — fewer details lost between “designed” and “live”.

How I work

Understand, build, Iterate.

  1. 01

    Understand

    I look at who uses the product and where it gets in their way.

  2. 02

    Define

    I put the problem into one sentence so everyone knows what we are solving.

  3. 03

    Design

    First the user’s path through the product, then the interface.

  4. 04

    Prototype

    I make something clickable early, so it can be tried before it is built.

  5. 05

    Build

    I write the front-end myself, or hand it to developers with every state described.

  6. 06

    Improve

    I launch, see how people actually use it, and fix what doesn’t work.

With developers

I describe every state and edge case before the team estimates the work, so there are fewer surprises later. When the build is ready, I check it against the design myself.

With product & business

I start by putting the problem in the client’s own words, so we all agree on what we’re solving. Then I keep the scope clear enough to price, and I explain the reason behind every decision.

AI in the workflow

AI helps with the work. It doesn’t do the thinking.

I use Claude, Claude Code and ChatGPT across the cycle. They generate and implement; I frame, decide and own quality.

StageAI acceleratesI own
01Research Goes through my interview notes, looks at similar products and sorts feedback into groups. I decide what actually matters.
02Ideas Quickly sketches a few versions of the flow, the screens and the copy. I pick one direction and throw the rest away.
03Design Reminds me of screen states I may have forgotten and suggests wording for buttons and hints. I own the hierarchy, the system and how it looks in the end.
04Build Writes the code from my description. I plan the structure and read every change.
05Testing Looks for problems with accessibility, SEO, speed and broken links. I try it on real phones and laptops.
06Fixes Applies the changes across the whole project at once. I decide what to change and what to leave.
