Design team
As the Design Lead, I established a rhythm of continuous collaboration inside the team: weekly design critiques, structured feedback cycles, shared design reviews, design hackathons and transparent processes around decision-making. I also contributed into tight alignment between Design, Copywriting, and Research, resulting in clearer and branded product narratives and more informed decisions.
This helped us steadily raise the quality bar while also supporting individual growth. Over two years, I mentored and helped to transit one of our designers from Senior into a Principal Designer position.

Product work
Product work
As a first step in my role I implemented a systematic process for addressing design debt. Removing old leagacy and mistakes from production. In parallel, I collaborated with Head of Growth to run 120+ A/B experiments focused on growing the product’s key metrics. Once a year together with the CPO, I shaped our strategic direction and ensured design played a central role that help to achieve long-term business goals.

Gamification
Gamification
One of my most impactful contributions was designing a new gamification system: Streaks, rewards, and motivational loops, entirely from scratch. This became one of the strongest retention drivers in recent years, giving MuseScore a fresh layer of habit-building mechanics and daily engagement.
