From an open brief to concrete decisions
1000+ pages
/ 6 hours
Brief
Site research
Edita limitations
Agreed decisions
I organised the research, identified Edita’s limitations, discussed product changes with the product owner and agreed next steps with the client.
Design Execution
Three streams of work in one working day
While a designer was on vacation, I used AI agents to complete in one day work that I would normally allocate around a week and a half for.
Planned designer time
38–64 hours
Delivery with AI agents
~6 hours
ITMO Design System
Research and design proposals for the system’s next iteration.
- Planned
- 24–40 hours
- With AI

OpenLab
Equipment and service pages with native components and integrations.
- Planned

QA & Operations
Quality review and handoff
UX/UI Review
Agents cross-check Figma, Jira, Confluence and the design system. I review their findings.
Requirements & Jira
An agent drafts the requirements. I approve the result before controlled publication and verification.
Edita documentation
An agent researches the functionality and drafts the documentation. A designer checks the content.
