Mykola Kotkov

Mobile UX Designer

I am a Lead UX/UI and Product Designer with over 15 years of experience creating digital solutions that transform industries. Throughout my career, I have led design initiatives for major banking and fintech projects across Ukraine, Switzerland, Sweden, the United Kingdom, Australia, Moldova, and other markets. In this leadership role, I have not only designed interfaces but also set the creative vision, directed design teams, and defined product strategies from concept to launch.
My work spans a wide range of high-impact products — from mobile banking applications and payment ecosystems to investment platforms and loan origination systems. As a Lead Designer, I have built scalable design systems, developed complex interface architectures, and implemented UX strategies that simplify intricate processes, increase conversion rates, and deliver measurable business results.

My professional achievements have been recognized with multiple prestigious international awards, including Indigo Design Awards (Gold, Silver, and Bronze across six categories) and the Red Dot Concept Design Award 2025. These honors not only symbolize creative excellence but also affirm that my work meets the highest global standards of innovation and quality.

Currently, I am based in the United States, working in the energy sector at one of the largest oil and gas companies. Here, I am leading the implementation of innovative digital products that are reshaping operational workflows, improving safety and efficiency, and creating new opportunities for data analysis and decision-making in an industry historically slow to adopt digital transformation.

For me, design is a strategic tool that can influence entire industries. I am committed to creating solutions that seamlessly align business objectives, user needs, and technological capabilities — leaving a measurable and lasting impact in every field I work in.
