Hi, my name is Maksim.

For the last few years, I was working as a Product Designer in various companies. Recently, I held the position of Product Design Lead at International Fintech company, where I established core design processes, led a design team of 3 people, and made several big in-product projects (more in my CV).

BUT! I realized that while leading graphic designers at my latter place of work. I feel a lot of freedom in this and love thinking with concepts and transforming ideas into visuals.

Currently, I make mostly part-time projects in Type design (made a few typefaces, and in general drawing, letters are some sort of a warm-up to me), Branding, and fun stuff for friends, but would love (LOVE) to join a team of where we could collaborate, create something interesting and have fun as well.
Graphic design should be fun! Yes, serious as well, but not boring. So, if you think you can make something interesting, let's do it together.

I'm open to any kind of things, whether it's digital-only or real-world stuff (I made a collaboration with Alexander Knor, a pottery artist recently).
