Employment history

Senior Web Designer at Devexperts

Nov 2024 – Avg 2025 · Tbilisi, Georgia

Devexperts is a global software developer for the capital markets. As part of the cross-functional web/marketing team, I led the conversion-focused redesign of the corporate site for a B2B fintech provider, partnering with Marketing, Sales, and Engineering. I owned UX, UI, the design system, documentation, and design-to-dev handoff.

  • Drove a qualified visitor-to-lead uplift from 1.2% to 1.9% (+58%) and cut bounce from 55% to 42% (–24%) in the first weeks after release; also increased pages/session +43% and average engagement +54%.

  • Collapsed the information architecture from 5 to 3 levels and introduced a persistent “Contact sales” CTA, raising form-start rate +31%.

  • Scaled the design system to 150+ components and 250+ tokens (2 themes, 4 resizes), cutting design-to-dev handoff –40% and reducing QA deviations.

  • Replaced heavy animations with subtle micro-interactions, improving LCP from 3.8s to 2.4s while keeping the interface responsive.

  • Ran two-week sprints with weekly stakeholder demos; groomed and documented every complex solution to streamline specs and handoff.

  • Clarified B2B positioning and improved early-page engagement with a multi-product display above the fold and clearer messaging for institutional buyers.

Communication Designer at Avito (OLX Group)

Feb 2022 – Jan 2024 · Yerevan, Armenia

Avito is the largest classifieds platform with over 300M monthly visitors. I joined during a major brand refresh to translate the new identity into everyday marketing communications at scale — from guidelines and a Marcom design system to hundreds of assets across verticals (Services, Goods, Real Estate, Auto).

  • Led the brand roll-out across 12+ channels and platform with 300M+ monthly visitors.

  • Built a design system (tokenized vertical palettes, type scales, grids, iconography).

  • Shipped an auto-layout template library (banners, carousels, stories, avatars, data cards, event covers) so managers could publish without designer handoff.

  • Delivered motion presets/banners for explainers and promos; built a reusable 3D asset bank to speed up content production and improve thumb-stop.

  • Owned the UGC stream and created community sticker packs to drive participation and recognizability.

  • Measurable outcomes (first months live): engagement +15–20%, retention proxy +10–15%, +2,800 new profiled members across vertical communities; self-serve publishing by community managers; consistency at scale.

  • Worked end-to-end through: weekly planning → research → concepts → design → reviews → publish → measure.
