More than 4 years I love to find problems, dive into it and deliver simple solutions. I like to learn about human psycology, cognitivie biases and limitations and imply all these knowlenge into my work.

I believe that a successful designer is someone who is broad-minded and has a wide range of skills. Some of those skills don't have to be design-related. One of my favourite subjects is the human being. Psychology, cognitive biases, behaviour, anatomy and origin of human species. All of these things make my design better. That's what I write about in my blog and that is why my blog called Compound Designer.

Mentorship

As a result of the terrible war in Ukraine, many people found it difficult to work. Some have lost all their sources of income. The IT remained one of those areas where income is stable and it is possible to leave Russia. Many began to think about changing careers.

On my blog, I have offered free help to everyone who want to change careers. I work with four people every week. When I work with them, I not only help them, but I also learn from them: I observe them, spot points of growth, learn to give feedback, and hone my communication skills.
