3 ways I can help
Here's the spread of my skills


As Staff Designer, I lead the design strategy for a comprehensive subscription service that integrates payroll, tax, reporting, invoicing, and accounting functionalities. My focus is on creating an easy-to-use and secure solution for small businesses. We've successfully scaled from 0 to over 20,000 subscribers and $8 million in net revenue.
In my day-to-day I use data-driven insights, AI and write code to prototype design artefacts, facilitating discussions and informing roadmaps.
I've overseen two major information architecture redesigns, improved onboarding processes, and introduced a freemium model that significantly boosted net revenue. Working closely with the VP, Head of Product, and engineering leads we ensure strategic alignment and effectively fulfilling user needs. I'm also actively integrating our services with Tide's broader financial tools for micro SMEs, taking a hands-on approach to drive project success.

Myself
Developed an interactive marketing tool for Clarify, a next-generation AI-first CRM platform. The centerpiece includes a time-savings calculator and a visualization tool that demonstrate the stark contrast between traditional manual CRM workflows and Clarify's AI-native approach.
The tool serves as an asset in Clarify's Go-To-Market strategy, allowing potential customers to input their current sales data and instantly see how Clarify's AI capabilities could transform their workflow. The side-by-side comparison vividly illustrates how sales professionals can reclaim hours previously lost to administrative tasks and data entry, redirecting that time toward meaningful customer interactions and closing deals.

Restaurant ordering with QR codes and digital payments in SE
OpaPay is a point-of-sale system designed specifically for restaurants and cafes in Eastern Europe. The platform enables customers to scan QR codes at their tables to browse menus, place orders, and pay digitally—all without waiting for service staff. This approach caters to the digital-first preferences of younger generations who value convenience, speed, and contactless interactions.
What sets OpaPay apart is its comprehensive support for various payment methods including cryptocurrency options like Bitcoin and Stablecoins. This flexibility addresses the growing demand for alternative payment solutions in Eastern European markets, where digital adoption is rapidly accelerating but international payment systems often have limitations.

The power of smart software and expert accountants, all in one place.
BalanceGuru was an accounting automation platform designed to simplify financial management for businesses. Our journey began with thorough product discovery, building a list of interested customers, and launching an MVP that quickly gained traction. We generated traffic and onboarded two paying customers. However, after a year, we decided to shut down the project. Achieving product-market fit in a relatively small market proved challenging due to the lack of documented APIs for banks, the national tax agency, and other institutions. The necessary integrations required over a year of development just to establish basic connectivity, making automation and scalability unfeasible from a return-on-investment perspective. Given these constraints, we chose to explore other opportunities.
