HOW CAN I HELP

I'm good at packing ideas into lovable tools through user experience design, branding, and storytelling. Work with me to conceptualize and take your new product to market, or to carefully iterate and expand an existing one.

With 10+ years of remote and hybrid experience, I value concise communication, working alongside independent, bold-minded people, keeping focus on vision rather than tools, and embracing transparent collaboration.

Each of my own projects throughout the last 10 years has been either designed by Boris or kicked off by him. I keep circling back to his expertise and the trust we’ve built over years.

—Solomon Shlosman  Serial founder at Soply, Yoututor, 321 Parentsy, Shoogar

Boris is super helpful in conceptualizing a product both as a big picture and down to micro interactions.

—Arianne Bercowsky   Product Owner @Jetraw

Boris consistently provides clean deliverables and always finds sideway solutions when we stumble on a technical limitation.

—Marc Vila  Front-end & Support Engineer @Jetraw

We've been working together since day zero. Boris's design ideas consistently elevated our product’s impact and clarity, making complex technology accessible and compelling for our users and investors alike.

—Bruno Sanguinetti & Eugenia Balysheva   Co-founders @Dotphoton
