0→1 product design leader passionate about turning innovative technologies into tools people trust and use confidently.
Designer + Director
With two decades of hands-on design leadership across multiple industries, I have deep experience in high-stakes domains such as health tech and biotech.
Having worked in both agency and in-house environments, I’ve learned to bridge craft, innovation and real impact. I've directed design efforts leading to successful exits, defined North Star visions for industry leaders, grown and mentored high-impact design teams, and served as an advocate for design at every level. These days, I’m especially excited about the wave of new opportunities powered by AI augmentation.
Currently, I lead Product Design & Human Factors at Cleerly — highly innovative AI-powered Software as a Medical device company with a mission to free the world from heart attacks.
I also host the Product Craft podcast, where I interview cross-disciplinary leaders to uncover what craft means in the rapidly evolving environment.

Arseni is an extremely talented designer and usability expert with a real flair for taking complex scientific workflows and producing smart, clean, and modern designs. He is a great communicator and very easy to work with. What I most appreciate about Arseni is that he has made me a better product manager by forcing me to think about my product in different ways I hadn't thought of before.
