If you’re here, you’re probably one of three people. A recruiter sizing me up for a role. A hiring manager checking whether I’d fit the team. A designer curious about how someone else does this.
Hi to all three.
Here’s how I think and what I’m looking for, in case it’s useful: The best designers ship. Writing is a design skill. Tools change but craft doesn’t. And the strongest teams are the ones that have been together long enough to disagree well.
What I’m looking for: a senior product design role at a team that thinks similar things. The kind of place where the same people are still around five years from now.
The case studies are above. The resume is here. My email is hello@nikolaylechev.com.
Thanks for reading,
From people I’ve worked with.
