Bio

πŸ‘‹ I'm Andrey! I spent the last 7 years as a product designer and UX manager at Shopify and saw firsthand the growth from 140 000 to 2 million active users. There, I learned a lot working on growth initiatives such as Shopify user onboarding and scaling App Store. Today I help SaaS companies grow by improving their user onboarding, activation and retention rates. I can help you with: OPTIMIZE USER ONBOARDING With years of experience in UX, I will help you to streamline your sign-up and onboarding flow and guide your users to realize the value of your product, so they become your customers. DESIGN / UX REVIEW As a product designer and UX manager, I can help you with strategic UX challenges and tactical ones. I advise startups on hiring or managing designers. And I can review your designs and highlight the flaws affecting your growth. IDEA VALIDATION As a UX lead at Shopify, I spent a lion part of my time planning with product managers on how to validate ideas sooner. Should you interview customers? Send survey? Build a prototype? Let's talk! CONVERSION RATE OPTIMIZATION Visitors don't convert into signups? Or signups don't convert into customers? I'll review your landing page or onboarding flow and figure out what's going on.

    I help startups to get ahead of the competition by building the right thing faster. Startups come to me for help to shave days off on their product implementation. I critique their designs so they need fewer iterations; I advise them on customer research so they can avoid pitfalls; I clarify their design specs so they get more out of their design agency or team.
