Juro: Designing an AI-powered shortcut that replaced hours of manual tagging
Business users were spending 10+ minutes manually tagging key data in every single contract. How might we turn that tedious routine into a fast, trusted, one-click experience? I redesigned the Smartfields tagging flow

Juro: Rebuilding versioning UX to restore clarity and trust
Reviewers couldn’t tell what changed, why, or when. The old system was slow, unclear, and hard to trust. How might we make versioning fast, transparent, and reliable? I rebuilt the entire experience — workflows, UI, and logic for version creation, activity tracking, and comparison.
80% fewer support tickets
+14% versioning MAU
+15% CSAT
2.5× faster load time

Sber: Redesigning the ordering flow to reduce drop-off and boost bookings
Users couldn’t connect with the right expert fast enough — unclear categories, bloated forms, and friction killed conversions. How might we make the ordering experience feel instant and confident? I redesigned core flows, simplified activation, and ran experiments to shorten the path from intent to expert.
85% reduction in time to first response
+7.4% lift in paid orders

Usage growth
Yandex: Scaling forms from internal tool to B2B-ready platform
Forms weren’t driving activation — they felt generic, limited, and disconnected from brand and workflow needs. How might we make them flexible, powerful, and worth using by default? I reshaped the experience in just 3 months from grouped questions to brand theming and in-product analytics.
4.5× form usage volume
3× increase in form creation

Super proud of the work Nikita puts out! It consistently delivers huge wins for Juro, and there are many tangible business impacts I'm seeing as a direct result of his work on the sales and customer side. His user-centric and data-led designs drive engagement and often receive feedbacks ‘tell your team this is a game-changer’.
Strategy
Pavel Nekrasov
Nikita is much more than a designer - he is very involved in the product process, he actively works with analytics data and participates in interviews with clients, so the final design that the development team receives is always well thought out. Besides, he regularly communicates with the engineering team to be sure designs are reliable and accessible for rapid development and stable performance.
Engineering trust
Lily Aranovskaya
Nikita is a strong designer who can solve the problem himself, find out all the requirements, and delight users. In addition he makes a lot of efforts constantly enhancing the way he and his team works
Ownership & initiative
Aleks Fenin
Nikita's love for data sets him apart from many designers I've worked with. He approaches each project armed with a thorough understanding of user behavior, preferences, and needs. This data-centric approach not only results in products that are tailored to user needs, but also enables the entire product team to make informed decisions based on hard facts rather than intuition alone.
Data-informed UX
Ivan Danyshevsky
Nikita is always opened for feedback and is empathetic. He knows the product, customers and has a clear vision of how to scale a design for business needs.
Design leadership
Carlos Gouveia
One of the things I like the most about Nikita is that he always shows an opening to discuss my questions / suggestions about the features Designs he’s working on. I can remember, for instance, that he even took the topic to a wider audience and came back to me with the whole guidelines explaining all the reasons behind the decisions.
