At Kontur, a leading SaaS provider in Russia with over 70 product teams, I established a new design team called «Bureau». Our purpose was to provide part-time design support for product teams without dedicated designers.
- I built and led a team of 5 designers: hired, onboarded, and mentored them.
- In 2021, our team provided end-to-end design for 30 product teams.
- The success of my team inspired other roles — developers, QA, and project managers — to create similar teams. As a result, the company now has a flexible pool of specialists for any project.
I developed a process for our team and explained how to collaborate with us. To do this, I wrote content, created designs using free illustrations by Icons8, and with the help of a front-end engineer, built the website.
