Hi! I'm Oleksii Zhuk,
a Product Designer & Front-End
Developer.
I offer UX/UI design and web development as parallel services — from research and interface design through to fast, accessible, production-ready code.
Tools I Use Daily
After more than 10 years of work I've completed 40+ projects. Below I've listed the most prominent work that helped products grow and progress defying challenges that came along the way.
I am a huge advocate of the design thinking and humanity-centered approaches. Throughout the years of designing for multiple teams in parallel I developed the 4-stage method that leads to a desirable outcome every time.
stage-01
Conduct thorough research to gather extensive insights from users, analyzing their pain points to uncover the root causes of a problem.
stage-02
Calibrate the problem scope, prioritize the most critical issues, and develop an actionable strategy to articulate the problem effectively.
stage-03
Move from concept to reality — prototype the design, then build it in production code with reusable components, motion, and accessibility baked in.
stage-04
Validate with users, then ship — QA across devices, tune performance and Core Web Vitals, launch, and iterate on real-world feedback.
A short call to understand your goals, audience, scope, and constraints — and whether we're a good fit to work together.
A clear plan: scope, deliverables, timeline, and a fixed quote or monthly retainer. No surprises, no hourly guessing.
Research, wireframes, and UI — reviewed together at each milestone until the direction is signed off.
Production code and CMS setup with reusable components, motion, and accessibility — reviewed on a staging URL.
Cross-device QA, performance and SEO tuning, then deploy to production with a smooth, monitored handoff.
Ongoing iteration and maintenance on a retainer, or a clean handoff with documentation — your call.

Business Development Director
I worked with Oleksii at datuum.ai. He was involved in product design and marketing and did a great job in both directions. Oleksii proved to be dependable and always supported our product and company. He also introduced a new version of the system UI/UX that greatly improved the user experience, which was important because the system was quite complex. I would recommend Oleksii as a great person to deal with, whose creativity and dedication make a great combination of skills in a person you would work with for years.

I worked with Oleksii at datuum.ai. He was the one who figured out how to implement a technically complex product interface while maintaining a simple and accessible user experience. His work attracted the attention of clients from all over the world. Working in a team, I appreciated the creativity, speed, and quality of work that Oleksii did throughout the project. It's also worth mentioning that Oleksii is a friendly, reliable, easy-going person who will always support and give good advice at the right time.

How a single logo became a full event identity for EDIF 2025 — and why defence work for Ukraine's future is where I most want to put my energy.
Read → February 24, 2024Why leadership so often overlooks user experience — and how designers can bridge the gap with research, empathy, and data.
Read →Two things: UX/UI design — product and web interfaces, design systems, prototypes — and front-end web development — custom marketing sites and web apps. You can hire me for either, or for both end to end.
Every project is scoped individually. After a short discovery call I send a fixed quote based on scope and timeline — no hourly guessing. Monthly retainers are available for ongoing work.
A focused landing page is usually 2–3 weeks; a larger site or product-design engagement runs 4–8 weeks. You'll get a firm timeline in the proposal, before we start.
Modern, fast, standards-based front-ends — Astro and React, TypeScript, semantic HTML/CSS — with performance, accessibility, and SEO built in from the start. I also work with headless CMSs and existing stacks like WordPress.
Yes. On final payment, everything is yours — source design files, code, and assets — with a clean handoff and documentation.
Absolutely. I regularly collaborate with founders, developers, and marketing teams, and can slot into your existing workflow, tools, and repository.
Grab a time for a quick call and let's talk about your project.
