I am a Senior Industrial Designer at Yandex, working in the Alice Smart Devices team. I contribute to the development of the Alice smart device portfolio, including smart speakers and other products built around the voice assistant, taking projects from early concepts and design direction through engineering development and mass production.
My background combines art, industrial design and engineering. Studies at the Roerich Art School and the Stieglitz Academy of Art and Design in St. Petersburg gave me a strong foundation in aesthetics, composition and form, while my understanding of engineering, materials and manufacturing helps me turn ideas into real, mass-produced products.
I have over 10 years of experience in industrial design, with my first products reaching mass production in 2015. Previously, I worked at Woodenshark, where I grew from Junior Industrial Designer to Head of Design.
My work has received iF Design Award and Red Dot Award: Smart Product, and I hold two patents. I have also participated in international design exhibitions including SaloneSatellite and MAMI Design.
