About

I’m Anuar Zhumaev, a product designer based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

I design interfaces: the interaction model, the flows and the visual system, tested with the people who use them. I also prototype and build in code, in React and TypeScript or plain HTML, CSS and JavaScript, so a design is judged in the hand, not in a frame.

This year I designed and built the student-facing UI of Galileo, an AI-generated 3D science lab, for AAIC and the curriculum publisher Activate Learning. I also designed Attune, an iOS reading app for the AI R&D lab ARMA AI.

From 2024 I led the design of Bujetor, an AI assistant that plans a household’s meals to a budget, as senior product designer with two junior designers.

I’ve been designing since 2004: web, motion and interface design at Digital October and Afisha; the e-ink interface of the Yotaphone 2 at Yota Devices; art direction at BBDO Moscow and at INDG in Amsterdam; and, since 2019, independent work for Octa, Grip, Deutsche Bahn and Mediamonks.

I studied psychology at the Russian State University for the Humanities, and I work in English and Russian.

I’m looking for product design roles, and I’m happiest on teams where designers also prototype or build.
