I like sharing what works in practice.
Here you'll find conferences, meetups, and lectures where I've talked about design, processes, and teamwork.
Mistakes at the product research and design stage
@Rocket Tech MeetupThis is an important talk for me, where I gathered the mistakes I made myself or together with my team at work. These mistakes happened in different companies, products, and at different stages, but what matters most are the lessons learned to avoid making them again.
The talk was delivered in Russian in Almaty, Kazakhstan.
What does a Head of Design do?
@spreent academyI launched my own educational product, going against the trends of online education — I was actually giving practical knowledge.
Around the same time, I co-organized an offline conference. Tickets sold out in an hour, and even more people showed up than we expected.
