I’m Roman Zhuikov, a Senior Product Designer and UX Team Lead with 9+ years delivering end-to-end product design for B2B SaaS, fintech, and wellness platforms across web and mobile. I’ve led an 8-person design team at WellnessLiving, establishing Figma design systems, critique processes, and documentation that accelerated team velocity by over 30%. I practice full-cycle UX research, including customer interviews, competitive analysis, Jobs To Be Done, A/B testing, and usability testing. I also integrate AI-assisted design workflows to ship faster without sacrificing quality. I’m experienced with WCAG accessibility standards and using motion design to improve perceived performance and delight. My domain expertise spans wellness, fintech/lending, edtech, and enterprise SaaS. I thrive in collaborative environments where I can mentor teammates, align design with business goals, and drive measurable improvements in user flows and product retention. I enjoy exploring AI-powered design tools (Figma Make, Lovable, Cursor, Midjourney) to accelerate ideation and prototyping while maintaining high-quality outcomes.
