Hi again! đź‘‹
My name is Vadik Matveev
I’m a product designer with 12+ years of experience, working across web, mobile, and even TV platforms. While I enjoy designing for all screens, the web is my true playground — I know my way around HTML, CSS, and JS, and even built this site from scratch.
I help companies understand their users and turn business goals into clear, user-friendly interfaces. I believe great product design is about real interaction — not static screens. That’s why I love to build detailed prototypes that are easy to test early, saving time, budget, and guesswork down the line.
I work well solo or in teams, often leading small groups toward consistency through shared patterns and systems — helping build strong bridges between design and development.

How I work
I combine strong UX thinking with hands-on technical skills. From user flows and JTBD to low- or high-fidelity interactive prototypes, I focus on validating ideas early and refining them with real user data.
Alongside tools like Figma, After Effects, and Rive, I have solid front-end skills — writing clean HTML/CSS, understanding JavaScript basics, and collaborating smoothly with developers. I'm also always curious to explore and workflows, using AI tools like ChatGPT, Recraft, and Figma’s Make to speed up routine tasks and stay ahead.
Who I am
Besides design, my other big obsession is music. I listen to a lot of artists, love digging into music history, and collect vinyl records. I even run a YouTube channel where I talk about different genres and albums — though it’s all in Russian.
I also enjoy long-distance cycling, good coffee, and obscure craft beer.
