Steven Gusev UI/UX Designer Novosibirsk, Russia --http://cherrybeard.ru https://www.behance.net/cherrybeard ABOUT ME Web design is my passion. I specialise in websites since I started working in design field. I enjoy creating effective interfaces. Learning psychology and decision making allows me to create not only beautiful, but also user-friendly designs. During the 5 years of experience I created over 40 website designs. Had experience of designing couple of big web applications, including two tour-selling websites: http://viasun.travel, http:// viasun.ru and e-commerce platform named FoxCommerce. Now I am looking forward to build beautiful web applications together with great teams. SKILLS Design I personally prefer to use Sketch for routine tasks. It allows to build websites very fast and supports responsibility. I always try to organise my projects well using pages, artboards and symbols. Being veteran in Photoshop with over ten years of experience, I still use it a lot for a photo retouch. Frontend Development Skilled enough to create every possible markup including responsive websites. Through the years I’ve created dozens of complex UI elements using jQuery. I also use jQuery for animation if CSS is not enough. I masterly use Jade, Sass and CoffeeScript to boost my workflow. Also can use Less or Scss if project requires it. And finally, have basic knowledge in Git (enough to deploy, rebase commits and merge branches). Communication and Management Native Russian and advanced English. I see myself as a bridge between head staff and developers. I always start with learning overall product strategy and market positioning. And never stop asking questions until fully understand my task. On the other hand, my frontend skills allow me to better communicate with development team, check markup quality and suggest better solutions. When working together, this helps to release products faster while maintaining better quality.
