Orzu Sharafi, Product and UX/UI Designer

Hi, I’m Orzu. I design apps, websites and brands that feel good to use.

How I work

For me, design starts with “why”, not with a picture. First I work out what people and the business need, then I build an interface that makes it easy.

01 / 04

Research

I run interviews and surveys and study the analytics. This shows me what problem the product solves before the first mockup.

Design

I build flows, prototypes and a design system. Every decision is based on what the research showed.

Validate

I test prototypes with users and run A/B tests, so mistakes are found before development, not after.

Polish

I make the motion, the interface copy and the final mockups. I support development through the release and after it.

About me

I’m Orzu, a product and UX/UI designer from Dushanbe. For seven years I have worked across Russia, the CIS and Europe: fintech, crypto platforms, e-commerce and CRM systems. I have designed interfaces for exchanges, payment systems and restaurant software.

I have worked with Myata, SBER, Yandex, SOAK, Boxberry and many local brands. I am most proud of the Myata loyalty app, downloaded by over 200,000 people, and of online store redesigns that raised conversion by 22% and, at best, by 63%.

At several companies I introduced design standards so the team and management could understand processes faster and more easily. I have led teams of designers, developers and DevOps engineers.

What matters most to me is value for the business. Making it beautiful is not enough: the solution has to work and get the job done. Today I work as a UX/UI designer at Zet Mobile and run the OFARANDAGON studio, which I co-founded with my partner.
