Product Designer — Georgia

Alexander's

Portfolio

I specialise in turning complex ideas into clear, intuitive digital experiences — from early product concepts and UX flows through to polished interfaces, design systems, brand identity, and launch-ready websites and products.

My experience spans SaaS, web applications, digital products, marketing, and startup environments. I’ve worked across both design and growth, giving me a strong understanding of how product decisions, visual communication, and business objectives connect.

I’m particularly interested in projects where design needs to do more than look good — it needs to make a product easier to understand, easier to use, and more compelling to the people it’s built for.

7+ years designing. Hundreds of digital projects. Always looking for the next interesting problem to solve.

01 / ZEN SOUNDS — 2024 · [PRODUCT CASE STUDY]

ZEN
SOUNDS

An app for natural sounds. Counterbalance to busy modern overstimulating life — for meditation, relaxing, sleep.

Product Design Mobile App 2024
THE PROBLEM

Modern life is overstimulating. People struggle to disconnect, meditate, sleep. Most sound apps are cluttered with ads, popups and forced subscriptions that break calm.

THE APPROACH

Minimal, calm UI that mirrors the content. Frosted glass, soft greens, nature imagery as texture not decoration. Focus on 1-tap play, sleep timer, offline downloads. Typography quiet, content loud.

Alexander
M-G

Design & Product Lead — Tbilisi, Georgia

Product designer, builder, and prototyper. Focused on shipping — from brand and packaging to product UI and web platforms. Currently leading design and product at Hardened Soft, a senior-only software studio.

[ ORIGINS ]

I grew up in Ukraine, studied in Hungary, and was drawing before I could really do much else.

[ LONDON, 2018 ]

Design became serious in 2018, when I moved to London and started teaching myself UI design, graphic design, and design strategy on the side while working in hospitality and events. That self-taught foundation got me hired at Flipify Media, a London agency building Shopify stores, where I designed and built stores at scale, managed client accounts directly, and started prototyping my own apps on the side.

[ FREELANCE & TRAVEL ]

Eventually I went freelance — I wanted a schedule that let me travel, and the freedom to take on a wider range of work. That freelance stretch kept the prototyping habit alive too, alongside real estate design, editorial layouts, e-commerce, and product UI, and eventually took me to Georgia, where I'm now based. Along the way I've also started three companies of my own; most didn't make it, but the lesson each one taught stuck.

[ NOW — HARDENED SOFT ]

Today I lead design and product at Hardened Soft, a senior-only software studio, owning UX, UI, and brand identity end to end. Figma is still where most of my work starts, and lately I've been deep in AI tooling — Claude Code and others — folding it into how I design and build.

Good design is quiet. The content should be loud.
