(about)
I'm Nikita — a designer and
developer based in Kyiv. I think about design
the way Bauhaus taught us — form follows
function, nothing is decorative without a
real reason.

Then I look at the Dadaists and
think: rules are made to be broken with intention.
Then I walk into a home decor store and just want
everything to shimmer. I try to fit all three into the
web — the last place anyone expects it.

(how the magic happens)
It's all about the process
discovery
- understand the space,
- find what's broken,
- talk to the right people,
- map the territory,
- define what success looks like,
- make it ugly first,
- then make it right,
- then make it beautiful,
- test it on someone who doesn't care about design,
- do it again,
- write code that reads like design,
- animate with intention,
- ship something real,
- watch people use it,
- fix what breaks.
