I am a Design Director with 14 years experience. I am focused on holistiс approach for digital products starting from smallest details of interfaces till business metrics and ad campaigns. My strongest side is systematic view on global profits that developing design as expertise can brings to business. For the last 7 years I have been building and leading effective Design teams and managing stakeholders all the way to board level. My expertise lies in partnering creativity, technology and business for driving cultural change on company-wide level.
I believe that Digital Technology and Design is the new Urbanism and Architecture and main mission of designers is making new better relationships between people, business and environment.
Throughout my whole career I have been evangelizing the importance of equality, diverse and female representation in Creative Industries in Russia. I also think about Design as a way to positively impact the future — and am fascinated by social design, prosthetics, accessibility design, and other positive aspects of design. I made it my mission to push and drive for cultural change in the Design Community in Russia, as well as being a mentor and supporter of young talents as teacher and lecturer at British Higher School of Art and Design in Moscow and Higher School of Economics of National Research University. I was honored to share my vision and ideas in 2 movies about Russian Design as part of Russian Culture called “33 words about design” and “Lepota”. For last 10 years I had won 2 education grants from British Council in a partnership with Oxford University.
Some of my most impactful projects took place in a BBDO, Yandex, Rambler and VK (ex-Mail.ru) — some of the biggest advertising and Internet companies in Russia, supplying search, social networks, mail, media, and other services for millions of Russian and European users 
As the CEO and Founder of Rainbow AI, I am passionate about revolutionizing how we experience and prepare for weather. With a deep background in AI and technology, I envisioned a future where weather forecasts are not just accurate, but hyperlocal and incredibly timely.

Under my leadership, Rainbow AI has rapidly grown to over 500,000 users and earned industry recognition, including the Product Hunt *Product of the Day* and a *Golden Kitty Award* in 2023. My focus is on harnessing the power of AI to solve real-world problems, and I am driven by the mission to keep people safe through reliable and advanced technology.
At Rainbow AI, we continue to push the boundaries of weather prediction, offering innovative solutions not just for consumers, but also tailored services for businesses.
