Overview

Habify is an all-in-one platform that brings together all the essential steps of relocation to France into one place: from finding housing and opening a bank account to insurance, mobile services, and community.

The Challenge

The core UX challenge was to transform a stressful and fragmented immigration process into a guided and trustworthy experience.

Research

During the research phase and user interviews, I identified key pain points for most migrants moving to France. By priority, these are housing, visas, bureaucracy, language barriers and building new connections.

Research

During the research phase and user interviews, I identified key pain points for most migrants moving to France. By priority, these are housing, visas, bureaucracy, language barriers and building new connections.

Insights

Based on these insights, I decided to highlight housing support directly on the home screen — offering online apartment viewings and the option to find a guarantor, which is a unique requirement for renting in France and for most of migrants most frustrating.

Features

The visa eligibility check guides users through a short questionnaire, recommends the most suitable visa option, and provides access to support if further clarification is needed.

Result

The interface highlights a step-by-step guidance (S1 Visa, S2 Housing, S3 Banking and so on) to make the process of relocation clear and simple.

New Chapter Academy is an educational platform and community in the field of crypto and Web3.

The Challenge

The challenge was to design a platform where complex content could be structured clearly, while maintaining a visual identity that motivates learners.

F1

The visual language was inspired by Formula 1 — a symbol of precision, performance, and progression.

Visual Metaphor

This metaphor translated into a dynamic layouts and bold contrasts that guide users through their learning journey at pace, but with clarity.

Outcome

Outcomes were clear: responsive layouts optimized for mobile-first use cases, and clear pathways through complex information.

The Challenge

The project addresses the common challenge of finding suitable playgrounds and courts in urban areas. The UX solutions focus on speed, precision, and intuitive navigation.

Implementation

The concept grew out of my own experience as a migrant struggling to discover local outdoor spaces.

Hidden Gems

Google Maps rarely shows hidden playgrounds or public facilities like ping-pong tables, and when you live in a new city or move frequently, it’s hard to know where such spots are located near your home.

Research p1

This personal challenge shaped the research phase: with other people in team we conducted user interviews and mapping to uncover pain points shared by others in similar situations.

Research p2

During the research, we discovered that some of our users often prefer to exercise with others rather than alone, as it increases motivation and helps form interest-based social connections. To address this, we added a feature in the app that allows users to connect with people who are actively using specific outdoor spaces or facilities.

Outcome

Founded insights became the foundation for Outly’s design — turning a fragmented and often frustrating search into a seamless and motivating experience.

Overview

From the outset music has been an instrument for various communication forms, generally rooted in mythological, religious or philosophical practices. Pure Tool is a techno music label that keeps up the purest tool ever made.

The Challenge

Emerged in Kyiv in mid 2021, the label was seeking for a voice in a visual communication that would express the idea of the brand.

The Key

The visual voice was found. I dove into the history of various instruments that our ancestors used to for many things. The logo is composed of various iron processing tools.

Connection to the past

The gradient used in visual communication symbolises the connection and transition from the very beginning of music to the present time: from old forms of sound to new rhythms. Identity with primitive abstract art unifies the brand concept.

Hushen is a boutique cottage town that unites natural serenity with thoughtful modern design.

Approach

I developed a distinctive brand identity rooted in its forested surroundings and architectural character.

The Key

The central visual sign — the letter "H" — was discovered in the building renderings themselves and became the core of the logo.

Embodiment

It embodies both the name and the architectural essence of the settlement.

Colour Palette

The brand colours reflect the serene environment—where timber and greenery meet modern glass—and evoke feelings of calm, quality, and cohesion with nature.

Inside Identity

Additional design elements are inspired by both natural and synthetic environments. These forms act as subtle visual layers that support typography and add depth to brand applications.

Synthetic Shapes

Synthetic shapes bring in a more structured, modular rhythm, echoing the grid system, where their height corresponds precisely to one vertical module (1h).

Natural Shapes

Bark-inspired shapes emphasize raw texture and irregularity, while stone forms convey a sense of stability—always kept distinct, never overlapping or distorted.

Patterns Usage

Depending on context and readability, the shapes can appear as filled surfaces or clean outlines, seamlessly adapting to the brand’s visual language while maintaining clarity and balance.

Overview

MineFree mobile app allows users to notify the State Emergency Service of Ukraine (SES) about explosive and suspicious objects found on the territory of Ukraine.

The Challenge

The main UX challenge was to create an experience that not only informs but also helps save lives. Users must be able to report a danger in seconds — photos, geolocation, and descriptions are sent directly to the State Emergency Service.

Visual Metaphor

The identity is based on the metaphor “See it — report it.” The logo is based on the shape of an anti-tank mine, which simultaneously transforms into a pair of eyes.

Meaning

It is a simple but powerful image: be vigilant, keep both eyes open, and report danger immediately. The bright orange color adds a sense of urgency and visibility.

Features

It also provides access to a map with designated areas that may be contaminated with explosive objects.

Balance

It was important to maintain a balance between the seriousness of the topic and user accessibility.

The Eyes

The use of iconic “eyes” makes the brand friendly and recognizable, relieves excessive anxiety, but at the same time emphasizes the need for vigilance.

Approach

General rule: meaning comes first, then the image. Strong visual language comes from clear intent. That’s when design really works, when it doesn’t need to be explained.
