Position

A thing should make sense before it tries to impress you. Most of the work lives in the first half of that sentence.

I make digital products that behave, and the visual language that holds them together.

the second half is more fun

Selected work

01

UX research · UI design · User testing · UX writing

A running app for beginners — routes, pacing and progress made legible enough to keep going.

The hardest screen to design was the one you look at while out of breath.

Case study
02

Visual identity · Digital design · Art direction

A quiet mobile product that puts distance between a late-night impulse and the morning after.

An interface that is trying to be used less, not more.

Case study
03

Product · UX · UI

A second-hand children's clothing marketplace — cheaper, simpler and considerably less wasteful.

Children outgrow clothes faster than anyone can justify buying them.

About

Mariyan Rusev, black-and-white studio portrait, smiling at the camera.
you learn as long as you live.

The experiment is my passion.

I've always been curious about the world, and I've never felt the need to stay in one discipline.

I studied philosophy and film directing, spent years working in IT support, and have always been drawn to ideas — the kind that change how we live, think and see the world. If there is one thing that makes me feel alive, it's ideas.

I've explored photography, visual arts, technology and different ways of making things. Somewhere between all of these interests, I found product design.

It feels like my place — a space where ideas, technology and visual thinking can come together to create something people can actually use.

Today, I work across product, interface and identity, bringing together the technical and the visual sides of how I think.

Let’s talk.

A brief, a half-formed idea, or a file you are not sure about — all fine. I answer everything myself.
