I’m Ksen — a UX/UI & Product Designer. I design websites, products and design systems that make complex things feel obvious.

I work independently with FinTech, SaaS and web teams. If it needs explaining, it needs redesigning — so I start with research, build systems rather than screens, and stay with developers until the final QA.

Why glyphs

Every interface starts as characters — letters, numbers, a blinking cursor. So every drawing here is live text: the thorn garland, my portrait, the 404 zero. Each one assembles from random symbols, the way a product comes together from research, notes and rough flows — until it clicks.

FinTech and SaaS are full of noise: fees, limits, compliance, five steps where two would do. My job is to turn it into something you understand at a glance.

Try it

Type a word — it assembles from glyphs the way every drawing here does. Click it to send a ripple, save it if you like it.

Product & UX

I run user research and usability tests, map journeys and information architecture, and turn it all into wireframes, prototypes and product UI — research-led flows that make complex products feel simple.

Web & Systems

I design responsive websites, mobile app UI and dashboards, and build the design systems and component libraries behind them — then stay through handoff and build QA. I also deliver websites turnkey: design and development, from the first sketch to a live site.

Social & Content

I plan content strategy and calendars, design posts and stories, look after community management, analytics and paid social creatives — one consistent brand voice across every channel.

Step 1: Research.

Interviews, usability tests, competitor analysis and journey maps — to find what needs explaining.

                          
       :+▒/         + =

Step 2: Structure.

Information architecture, user flows, wireframes and prototypes.

     ·           .

       :                  
                          
                          
        :                 
       :                  
                          
                  -

           ·              
                          
    -                . :  
                   +

Step 3: System & UI.

A design system and component library, then the final responsive UI — systems rather than screens.

                           
        + +

    +                      
                           
                   ·       
                  ·        
                     :

    :                      
                           
      .

Step 4: Handoff & QA.

I stay with developers through handoff and build QA until release — or build the website myself, turnkey.
