SASHA VOLIK


About me

I’m a Lead Designer with 9+ years of experience across agencies and in-house product teams spanning product, brand, marketing and business communication.

My work includes digital products within an ecosystem of 10M+ users, as well as financial infrastructure with 4.9M+ transactions and $1.3B+ in turnover.

I can take ownership of a project from an unclear business problem to a launched solution defining the direction, managing the process and remaining hands-on throughout execution. I work directly with product, marketing, sales, engineering and leadership teams, manage priorities and dependencies, coordinate contributors and keep projects moving from an early idea to a finished result.

Alongside hands-on design, I improve workflows, introduce reusable tools and standards, and help teams collaborate and deliver faster. I’m most useful when a challenge crosses disciplines and needs someone who can see the whole picture, make decisions, bring the right people together and take responsibility for making it happen.

What I do

My work spans brand, marketing, product and communication design. I’m most useful in roles where design needs to connect different parts of the business — from how a company presents itself to how its products, campaigns, sales materials and internal systems work together.


Brands and products I’ve working with


What it’s like to work with me


Saule Zhumanova

Former CEO of Kazakhstan’s Instant Payment System

What I especially appreciated about Sasha was his product-oriented mindset. He did not approach the work only from a visual perspective, but always tried to understand the purpose of each task, the audience, the product value, and the expected business outcome. This helped us communicate a complex fintech product in a much clearer and more convincing way. I would also highlight Sasha’s ability to work in a cross-functional environment. He communicated professionally, asked the right questions, listened carefully to feedback, and was able to find balanced solutions between product requirements, business needs, and visual quality. Working with him was always comfortable and productive.


Max Poliakov

Head of Design at BTS Digital & Creative Director

I had the opportunity to work with Sasha at BTS Digital, where he became one of the key designers supporting both our products and the broader communication ecosystem. Beyond execution, Sasha always looked at the bigger picture. He was proactive in improving processes, building reusable templates, and helping bring more consistency to our design operations. These improvements made collaboration smoother and allowed the team to work more efficiently. Sasha worked closely with product, marketing, sales, development, and leadership teams. He communicates clearly and is able to turn complex ideas into simple and effective visual solutions. He is reliable, takes ownership of his work, and can be trusted to deliver without constant supervision. On a personal level, Sasha is easy to work with, open to feedback, attentive to detail, and always willing to learn.


Julia Malenina

Senior Designer at F P R Agency

I worked with Sasha at FPR, and what always stood out was his ability to combine strong visual thinking with a very practical approach to design. He could quickly understand the task, find a clear creative direction and carry it through across different formats — from branding and campaigns to digital and print. Sasha was also someone you could rely on in a fast-paced agency environment: thoughtful, independent, attentive to detail and always open to feedback. He consistently cared not just about making things look good, but about making the design work for the client and the team.
