About me

Hi, I'm Andrei Tarasevich
Product & Design Leader · Product Design Consultant
Since 2017 I have worked in Design Management positions, including Head of UX, UX/Product Design Director and Change Manager.
During this time I've focused on methods to create, launch and mentor design teams effectively while creating bespoke Design Team frameworks designed to drive productivity.

I've been working with international product companies for almost a decade, helping them succeed through simple, attractive and effective UX/UI Design. My professional design experience is focused on CRM, UX Architecture and delivering elegant solutions for highly complex systems in the enterprise, industrial and financial sectors.

As a recognized expert in the UX/UI Design field, I routinely consult and speak on the subject. Further, as an active member of the IT Community, I regularly participate in:
  • International and Local Conferences as a speaker on topics including UX/UI career development, best practice approaches to the design and development of UX
  • International hackathons as a mentor and adjudicator

When I'm not busy managing UX/UI Design teams, I practice industrial design as a hobby. For the last 25 years I've engineered and crafted musical instruments from scratch. This involves the full cycle of product engineering, the use of specialist technology, the sourcing and treatment of materials and tools, while also mastering the instruments themselves.

Career History

As an experienced UX Design Manager and UX/UI Designer, with over 20 years of insight, I am now committed to the next step of my career, seeking opportunities as a UX Design Director or Head of UX Design.
My career in UX/UI Design began in 2013, after an informative and varied career in design.
During my professional career in design, I worked across a range of vocations including print, industrial design, advertising and website development.
Since becoming a UX/UI Designer and Manager, I have worked with products, startups and established corporations to help them realize their objectives with my UI/UX design expertise, both directly and on a consulting basis.
Our company works according to the principle of individual approach to every client.
This method allows us to achieve success in problems of all levels.
Throughout my career, I have been committed to developing my Design and Management skills. To date, this has been achieved through actively pursuing and securing positions at a diverse range of organizations, while pursuing personal projects designed to challenge me when work did not.
Thanks to my previous design experience and management expertise, I was inspired to launch my Management and Mentorship practice in 2014. Since formation this endeavour has involved leading and mentoring design teams at outsourcing companies, supervising projects and formally coaching UX/UI Designers.
In 2017, I made it my career goal to achieve a UX Design Management position and actively pursued this through critically evaluating and building on my existing skillset, seeking to excel at creating and maintaining effective design teams, while mastering the design processes and methodology behind high performing Design Teams.
This drive helped me achieve my goal as Head of Design and UX Director in 2018.
In 2018, I co-founded DGTL Agency, which delivers bespoke consulting solutions to companies and specialists on Business Analysis and UX/UI/CX/Service Design. DGTL also specializes in developing and delivering courses and training in the same fields.
In October 2020 I started the Developmate – a Product Bootcamp created to build multiple digital products for businesses and entertainment. On the other hand, we worked as a training center on improving the experience of trainees and specialists and grow their chances of getting a dream job.

My founder role includes multiple management roles to create projects and teams from scratch. Composition, coordination, management, and mentoring of the teams.
  • 1000+ people trained
  • 26 product teams created
  • 4 project types practiced: mobile apps, web apps, mobile games, business research
  • 4 senior director-level people had grown
  • 180+ people on the projects simultaneously
The mission of the Developmate is to gain real experience for product and development teams trainees to improve people skillsets and grow up the efficiency of processes and approach of the teams.
We train the teams and individual specialists using the product approach framework. We evangelize an as-a-reality approach.
Now I recognize that it is time for me to take the next step in my career. This is why I am actively seeking international opportunities as a C-level Manager.
