Pavel Samsonov

People & practice

Teams are built on shared mental models of customer value. I help business, design, and engineering find the common ground where that value lies.

Cross-functional stakeholder buy-in

I help business orgs understand how user research saves risky projects, prevents waste, and accelerates the pace at which teams can deliver value. In turn, I empower my team to tie back every design decision to why our leadership & our customers should care.

  • Building and scaling a remote-first design practice

    I embraced fully remote collaboration by building relationships between geographically distributed team members & with other design teams across the company. Sharing best practices and scaling every designer's individual innovations kept the team connected and engaged, while increasing our impact.
