Hi, I am Ilyas Zholdasbay

With 8+ years in product design and a past life as a software engineer, I bridge the gap between vision and execution. I speak the language of models and engineers.

Working with Ilyas was like adding a design brain to our team overnight. He moved fast, really fast, but never at the cost of thoughtfulness.

Shamil Arsunukayev

CEO @ Cocopine, USA

Working with Ilyas was great on all levels: he's disciplined and methodical, creative, has a can-do attitude, and delivers on his promises.

Arman Suleimenov

Founder & CEO @ nFactorial

Ilyas crafted highly sophisticated designs, covering all states—empty fields, full-text fields, errors, and paste actions—for a seamless user experience. He also proposed creative solutions, such as two distinct navigation sidebar designs, enabling us to select the best fit.

Ardak Kussainova

Founder @ Atarino.ai, USA

I had a pleasure working with Ilyas and his team. The experience was exceptional! Our product is a voice first AI companion - a very blue ocean from UX perspective. Ilyas delivered exceptional prototype in no time and at a fraction of a cost. He is very detail oriented, and very experienced. Will work again in a heartbeat

Slava Yem

CEO @ DateMarks, Canada

Ilyas has a great eye for design and always brings a unique touch to the project.

Almas Kebek

CEO @ TOP.kz

I have worked with multiple designers for my business, and Ilyas is definitely the fastest and best-performing designer we have truly enjoyed working with. He helps us not only with design but also with important product decisions.
