About

Hi there! I’m Ilya Momynov, a Senior Product Designer based in Almaty, Kazakhstan, with 10+ years of experience crafting complex B2B SaaS and data-heavy enterprise interfaces. I specialize in end-to-end product design, user research, and building design practices that scale across teams and products.

I founded a Tel Aviv–based startup, built the design practice from scratch across four B2B SaaS products for IT infrastructure management, and architected multiple design systems. I blend hands-on UX research with production-ready UI and developer handoff, while integrating AI tooling to accelerate exploration of complex data visuals and improve outcomes for stakeholders and users alike.
