Hi, I'm Stepan - Designer & System Thinker
I have 5+ years of experience in product design, research, and branding for SaaS, mobility, and e-commerce platforms, both B2B and B2C.
I'm a product designer with a passion for developing products, people, and knowledge. I believe that users are at the heart of everything we do, and great design is my responsibility. My most important job as a designer is to adapt to the context and deliver the design value that context requires.
I run Mavka, a product and web design consultancy. Interested in collaborating? Contact me:

I am dedicated to expanding my knowledge and expertise in my field. Throughout my career, I've acquired various skills, which I continue to perfect.
👨🏻💻 Product Design
I combine design, tech, and business in order to build products that are valuable, feasible, and usable. Product design is the core of what I do. Designing software that’s useful and brings joy to users is the very reason I started working in this industry in the first place. Besides the name-dropping, I believe designing a product is an act of world-building. There are fundamentals to the process, but it’s the small percentage of personality, joy, and magic that brings it all together and makes it unique. I can’t describe how much joy this process brings me.

👨🏫 Research & Workshops
I specialize in running custom innovation workshops, for larger teams, to build better products, faster. I apply exploratory findings and design requirements, leveraging generative research to formulate innovative solutions that capture user needs. These outputs are thoroughly tested and assessed through evaluative UX research before moving forward to the final design and development stages.
