Creativity and artistic expression have always been ingrained in their essence, with a childhood love for drawing serving as the initial spark of his design passion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interview with 2023 MUSE Design Awards Winner &#8211; Aleksandr Volodkovich<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q1. Please give us a brief bio of yourself and your design background.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My name is Aleksandr Volodkovich and since 2015, I have been involved in web and mobile application design. For several years, I worked as a freelancer, developing and deepening my skills and with that, expanding my portfolio each time I complete a project. This experience not only allowed me to develop products but also to understand the needs of users, which, in my opinion, is important when designing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2022, I joined the fintech company BNPL &#8220;Podeli&#8221; as a product designer. It was a significant step in my career, allowing me to contribute to product development at a new level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have also been fortunate to be a jury member for international design awards. This experience provides me with a unique opportunity to evaluate and analyze the work of other designers, learning from their successes and mistakes. I take pride in my design awards that confirm the quality of my work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to my professional activities, I am a design mentor. It is incredibly important to me to share my knowledge with young professionals, helping them grow and reach new heights in this fascinating field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q2. What made you become\/why did you choose to become a designer\/artist?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve always felt that art and creativity were at the core of my soul. From an early age, I loved to draw which became the first manifestation of my passion for design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over time, my love for drawing evolved into a love for design. I realized that through design, I could not only express myself but also impact the world around me, making it a better place. Design offers a unique opportunity to contribute to societal development by turning ideas into tangible products and solutions that enhance people&#8217;s lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This process of creation, the ability to see the world through the lens of beauty and functionality, and the desire to improve the world through design were key factors that drove me to become a designer. In the end, design for me is not just a profession; it&#8217;s my passion, my mission, and my way of interacting with the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q3. Tell us more about your business\/company, job profile, and what you do.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Currently, I work as a product designer at the fintech company &#8220;Podeli&#8221;. Our service embodies the BNPL (buy now, pay later) concept \u2014 a rather progressive and modern solution in the financial world, designed to provide consumers with greater flexibility when making purchases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main advantage of &#8220;Podeli&#8221; is the ability for consumers to split the cost of a product or service into several payments without any additional interest. This makes our service particularly attractive compared to traditional loans, where interest can significantly increase the final cost of a purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In my role as a product designer, I focus on creating and optimizing the user interface, aiming to make our service as intuitive and accessible as possible for our clients. My work includes researching user needs, developing prototypes, testing, and implementing changes to improve the user experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q4. What does \u201cdesign\u201d mean to you?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For me, design is not just aesthetics or beautiful visual elements. It&#8217;s a way of communication, a form of expressing thoughts and ideas. Design merges functionality with beauty, helping to create products and solutions that cater to people&#8217;s needs, making their lives better and more convenient. It&#8217;s a process of understanding and solving problems where every element has its purpose and significance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q5. What\u2019s your favorite kind of design and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For me, the design of the hammer symbolizes perfection in simplicity and functionality. Over time, its shape has hardly changed, which speaks to its efficiency and versatility. This tool was created for a specific purpose, and it fulfills that purpose flawlessly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Its design is a combination of weight, balance, and durability, making it indispensable in everyday life and in manufacturing. The hammer shows that design doesn&#8217;t have to be intricate or fancy to be effective. Sometimes the simplest solutions turn out to be the most brilliant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Winning Entry<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Get a convenient ecosystem for all the needs of your apartment and house right in your pocket!
