Intro

I'm Madina Amantayeva, a Product Designer with a technical background and 3+ years of experience designing web and mobile products. I work at the intersection of UX, product thinking and visual design — turning complex requirements into clear, intuitive experiences. I take products from discovery and user flows to high-fidelity UI, design systems and developer handoff. I enjoy working on complex products, especially B2B platforms, marketplaces, internal tools and data-heavy interfaces, where thoughtful UX can make a real difference.

With a background in Computer Science and experience working closely with developers, product teams and clients, I understand both the user and the constraints behind the product. I care about the reasoning behind every design decision — not just how an interface looks, but why it works.
