About

OC

I'm Oleksandr, a UX/UI designer from Kyiv. I turn messy products into clear ones.

For four years I've designed product interfaces, from the first user interviews to a design system that developers use every day. I like the part where research becomes a clear decision on the screen.

Lately I also prototype with AI. I design in Figma, then build working versions in code with Claude, so I can test motion and flows in a real browser before anyone writes production code.

How I use AI

AI speeds up the making. The judgement stays mine.

01

Live prototypes in code

I build working versions with Claude to judge motion and interaction in the browser. The Diamonds VPN site is one: Three.js, GSAP, no static mockups.

02

Clickable flows for founders

For PostPixel I turned Figma flows into HTML prototypes the founder can test with real users.

03

Faster research and writing

Competitor scans, first drafts and UX audits go faster with AI. I check every result and make the decisions myself.
