About

People say the best designers work in Cupertino. Let’s see if I can get that far! I’m Ilya, a UX/UI designer passionate about turning ideas into products that users love and teams trust. With 4+ years of experience across fintech, SaaS, and logistics, I’ve helped craft mobile apps, SaaS platforms, and web applications that balance aesthetics, usability, and business goals. Design, for me, is more than visuals — it’s about solving real user problems, improving engagement, and creating experiences that matter. I thrive on taking a concept from research and ideation all the way to interactive prototypes and polished product designs. I love working with teams to shape products that feel intuitive, accessible, and purposeful. The best solutions come when designers, product managers, and developers collaborate, combining insights, creativity, and strategy. I’m always excited to: - Solve challenging product problems with thoughtful design - Explore creative approaches that improve user experience and business impact - Share insights on design thinking, workflows, and prototyping - Learn from others’ experiences in product development. Industries I’ve contributed to: Fintech (core expertise) | Logistics | Real Estate | Healthcare | Beauty/Fashion | Travel & e-ticketing | eCommerce | AI | Sport | Socials. My design toolbox: I work exclusively in Figma, turning ideas into interactive, scalable, and adaptive experiences. From high-fidelity layouts to clickable prototypes, I use Figma to strategize, design, and collaborate with teams to make products feel alive even before launch. At my core, I see design as a tool to make technology human-friendly and impactful. The most memorable products are built when people work together, combining skills, creativity, and strategy. Let’s connect and create experiences that look incredible and actually work — enrainy.uix@gmail.com
