About

Roman Shchyukin | Art Director, Creative Lead, Design Manager

With 20+ years in design and more than 11 years as an Art Director, I specialize in design management, team development, and creating visual solutions for digital products. Over the past 3 years, I have been working in iGaming, including casino, sportsbook, and esports.

As an Art Director and Design Manager, my role is to build clear design processes, bring teams together around a common visual direction, and make UI, UX, branding, and marketing communications work as one coherent system.

Key Competencies:

+ Design team management and creative process development

+ UI/UX for digital products and creating consistent user interfaces

+ Design systems and product visual principles

+ Art Direction, from concepts and prototypes to final visual solutions

+ Design processes: briefing, task management, prioritization, reviews, and quality control

+ Collaboration with product, marketing, and development teams

+ Branding and visual identity integrated into digital products

+ AI tools for improving and scaling design workflows

Experience:

I have worked as a designer, Art Director, and team lead, building visual systems, teams, and design processes from scratch.

In iGaming, I have worked across European markets, including Romania, Bulgaria, and Georgia. Currently, I am part of a startup launching new casino and sportsbook products, combining product design, UI/UX, branding, and marketing.

I see design as a system that connects business goals, product, users, and the design team into one clear process.
