Design consultant for serious products and unserious meetings

Sәlem! I’m Ilya Muravyëv, a design consultant and creative director from the White Hills of Qazaqstan, with nearly 25 years of hands-on practice across digital products, interfaces and visual culture.

I work somewhere between product design leadership, creative direction and the occasional second opinion — usually with founders and small teams trying to make sense of their products, interfaces, brands and messy ideas.

Currently hanging around in a very chic way, raising my baby TheFashionDB, moonlighting as founder of Bonkers!, creative director for ScoutWay, PC.ST and Podcasts.ru multiverse, and taking on independent consulting work when the stars align.

In previous seasons: World Chess, FIDE Online Arena, iD EAST (Fresenius Kabi, TEK Torg, sovereign autocratic government institutions), Deloitte, Samsung, Perfetti van Melle, and of course the global lollipop economy in general.

Always up for a good chat — hit me up!
