About

I'm a product designer who checks her work in code

I'm Nastya, a product designer in Kyiv. I design portals and CRMs for fintech and healthcare, build the design system behind them, and review what developers ship, role by role.

My path

From choir conducting to product design

  1. Childhood

    As a kid, I wanted to be an architect. I didn't become one, but I built houses and whole structures in Minecraft's creative mode and even ran a YouTube channel about my builds. Looking back, that's where design started for me.

  2. Choir conducting

    I also sang, and music won: I trained as a choir conductor and taught at a school for a few months. Those months showed me teaching wasn't for me.

  3. Product design

    I was always at home with computers, so I tried design and stayed. I started on Upwork in 2022 with landing pages and online stores, then joined a Canadian eCommerce agency as their second designer. Since 2023, I've designed B2B portals and CRMs for fintech and healthcare at Empeek.

How I work

Spec first, then Figma, then the build

  1. I start with requirements.

    I break features down with the BA and sketch screens while the spec is still being written, so gaps show up early.

  2. I design from the system.

    Screens are built from design system components with their states, so developers get parts they already know.

  3. I show options.

    When the choice isn't obvious, the client compares two or more variants and we pick one together.

  4. I check the build for every role.

    After each module reaches the dev environment, I compare it with the design and the spec and hand developers a list of mismatches.

Design and code

I don't stop at handoff

On Centology, I've reviewed 16 modules on the dev environment and logged about 1,100 mismatches. To explain them to developers, I learned to read HTML and CSS.

Then I automated the routine. My Claude skill checks the build against Figma and the spec for every role: one entity review went from 10–12 hours to 5–6.

This site is my first project from Figma to code. I designed it, set up the tokens and wrote the specs. Claude Code wrote the HTML, CSS and JS; I read the code and checked every page.

On client products, developers write the code. My part is the design, the system and the review.
