About

Hi, I’m Vlad — Senior Product Designer originally from Ukraine and now based in the Netherlands.


I have 7+ years of experience designing user-centered, data-driven digital products for web and mobile platforms across SaaS, B2B, and B2C products in fintech, hospitality and e-mobility sectors. Skilled in end-to-end product design, from discovery to delivery, with a strong foundation in interaction design, information architecture, and visual design. Adept at cross-functional collaboration with product managers, engineers, and researchers to align user needs, business goals, and technical feasibility.

My career journey

My career journey

Product Designer — GreenFlux, Netherlands 🇳🇱

At GreenFlux, I design intuitive and scalable user experiences for a B2B e-mobility platform. I translate complex technical workflows into clear, user-friendly interfaces, and keep in close touch with users through regular onsite visits and online meetings. I actively involve developers in the design process, encouraging direct communication with users to build empathy and foster collaboration. Beyond the day-to-day design work, I promote UX awareness across the company by organising workshops.

A bit more about me

A bit more about me

When I’m not designing, you’ll probably find me experimenting in the kitchen, planning my next trip, or happily building (and occasionally rebuilding) elaborate LEGO sets. I’m married to my biggest supporter and share my home with a very opinionated cat named Figma, who regularly critiques my work by sitting directly on my keyboard.
