About
Roman Shimin
UX/UI Design Lead · Montenegro (Remote)
I'm a UX/UI Design Lead with 7 years at Appello, a digital product studio building software for clients from early-stage startups to government enterprises. I like the fast pace of it: taking an unfamiliar domain, from aviation cargo to medical diagnostics, and turning it into a clear, usable product within weeks, then staying close through build.
I started around front-end development before moving toward the part of product work I cared about most: understanding difficult problems, shaping interactions, and making software easier to use. That shift, and a few years of freelance work before Appello, is why I’m comfortable dropping into an unfamiliar domain and finding the shape of the product quickly.
After seven years carrying design end-to-end on fast-moving client work, I’m looking for a senior product design role where I can go deeper on fewer products, with more ownership over the outcome and a closer, longer relationship with the people who use what I design.
