Lev Kormych
AI Design Engineer · Creative Director
Summary
Designer with 10 years in product design, art direction and teaching. Since 2022 I use AI in design work, since 2025 I build products and workflows with AI agents.
I am not a hand-coding developer. I design the system, write the specs and rules, run coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini) and review what they produce. This way I take work from idea and Figma to working, deployed code.
Experience
Senior product designer, AI design engineer
Crypto exchange and B2B fintech platform. Started in a team of 7 designers.
Product design
- Designed the exchange platform and the mobile app for iOS and Android: user flows, screens, UI components.
- Motion for app transitions in After Effects, handoff to developers, design review of the build.
- Landing pages, marketing visuals and 3D content for campaigns.
Brand and rebrand
- Took part in the brand from the early branding to the current rebrand.
- A rebrand concept: crypto and fiat in one platform, two colours, light beams instead of images where there is no picture.
- Brand book and a short brand deck for the CEO and co-founders.
- Four image styles (photo, porcelain 3D, isometric illustration, icons), each with a master prompt so AI images stay consistent. Audited 23 pages, 176 image slots, generated about 100 new images.
B2B website
- Concept and design of the new B2B site, 29 pages.
- Built with an agent pipeline: a design system of 48 tokens and components first, then a lead agent and 12 worker agents build 11 sections at 4 breakpoints from Figma, a judge agent compares each piece with the design, then I review. Live pilot.
- Wrote rules after hitting the Figma API limit: pull design data once into a cache, a call budget per agent.
- Turned the process into a studio app where designers and a developer take pages from Figma to code, with two approval steps.
Email builder
- Collected 37 real emails into 21 reusable blocks.
- A copy skill for Claude with 19 tags for 9 email types places copy into the right blocks and outputs HTML.
- Three-step approval: designer, lead, deploy.
Designer and product owner, code by AI agents
- SOFA, macOS app that runs several AI coding agents on one board: one splits the task, others do it, a separate one checks. 2,778 commits, 85 releases in about three months. I use it for all my work.
- Cue, macOS window manager. 6,442 users in 19 days from 84 countries, on Product Hunt.
- Blo, language learning app with AI cards and spaced repetition. Web live, iOS in TestFlight.
- LockyFeed, Chrome extension. Dissertation Studio, web app.
Design mentor, course author
- Built the UX/UI design course and its structure: three modules (landing page, app, web page), lessons, practice tasks and final projects.
- Mentor students through real projects: reviews, feedback, portfolio preparation.
- Earlier taught design software.
Teacher
- Taught composition, Photoshop and After Effects.
- Curated the motion design course and wrote its program.
- Student works from the course received 3 Behance awards.
