Maksym Moskalenko

Independent Design Director

I’m an independent design director focused on building scalable digital products, design systems, and AI-driven design-to-code workflows. I work with startups and product teams at critical stages — zero-to-one, rapid growth, or system redesign — helping them establish clear product foundations that scale across design and engineering. My work sits at the intersection of product design and implementation. I design not just interfaces, but the underlying systems — structure, components, and workflows — that allow teams to move faster, maintain consistency, and ship reliably. I help teams eliminate fragmentation between design and development by creating production-ready design systems, improving design-to-code pipelines, and bringing clarity to complex products.
