I create design that doesn’t distract — but leads the user to the goal.
My name is Yaroslav Bortkevich — a product designer creating clear and effective interfaces.
Background & Education
10 years in the restaurant industry — from waiter to general manager.
This experience developed structured thinking, team management, a service-oriented mindset, and a deep understanding of real-world user behavior.

1.5 years of UX/UI training + independent practice.
Built a portfolio of real projects in sports, e-commerce, and mobile applications.

Education & Additional Training:
— Bachelor’s Degree: Organizational Management, RSUFK (2022)
— Professional Retraining: UI/UX Designer, Bang Bang Education (2024)
— Java (JavaRush), 2020
— Data Science (Yandex Practicum), 2021

These fields strengthened my technical thinking and helped me understand how a product works from the inside — from data to development.

Product design is my core specialization.
