UI/UX Design Team Lead
2 years 2 month
Led a design team launching products for startups worldwide
My role
Led design team
Created designs from concept to working products for startups from around the world (IOS, Android and Web applications), including dating, streaming, e-commerce, photo printing, banking products etc
Built wireframes, high-fidelity UI and prototypes, run desktop and competitor researches as well as usability studies
Pitched design concepts to clients
Worked together with client PM’s on formalising product requirements
Created UI kits for the client developers and closely interacting with them on the implementation stages
Oversaw the quality of all design produced in the studio
Trained and helped designers in studio to grow professionally
Collaborated with client graphic designers and brand managers
Worked on micro-interactions with motion-designers
Built long-lasting relationships with clients, including upselling additional studio services, and insuring retention
Outcomes
Apps like Clicher, Wonder, and Hotpoint received recognition from Apple, being featured on their platform, and garnered positive reviews on both Google Play and the App Store
Ideas generated from desktop research played a crucial role in making the Wonder dating app stand out from the competition
Client retention for studio services averaged at least 2 years, with each project followed by requests for additional features or the design of new services under the company's umbrella
Many Chapps designers have gone on to start their own successful studios, contributing to raising the design bar even higher
Mentored and led the team
