UI/UX Designer in Ivano-Frankivsk — Oleksandr Filyuk

Looking for an experienced UI/UX designer in Ivano-Frankivsk or anywhere across Ivano-Frankivsk oblast? Oleksandr Filyuk is a senior designer with 15+ years of experience helping Frankivsk companies, IT teams, tourism businesses, manufacturers and entrepreneurs turn their digital products into powerful growth tools. Carpathian business is a unique blend of Western Ukrainian culture, European orientation and technological ambition, and my mission is to package all of this into design that actually works.

Why work with me from Ivano-Frankivsk

Ivano-Frankivsk is one of the most dynamic cities in Western Ukraine. The IT sector is growing rapidly here (Eleks, Intellias, SoftServe, Avenga, NIX have offices in the city), tourism is strong (the Carpathians, Bukovel, Vorokhta, Yaremche), wood and furniture manufacturing is powerful, and the restaurant and hospitality scene is high quality. Frankivsk clients are traditionally oriented toward Europe — Poland, Czechia, Slovakia, Germany — and therefore need design at European quality standards.

Working with me, you get a partner who understands your market niche, follows European and global design trends, and at the same time knows the specifics of Ukrainian law and business processes. This is especially valuable for Frankivsk startups and IT companies launching products for Western markets.

Local context of Ivano-Frankivsk

Ivano-Frankivsk is the regional capital with about 240,000 residents, but the city's significance for the region is much larger than its size. It is the administrative, educational and business capital of the Carpathian region with an oblast population of about 1.3 million. Proximity to the Carpathians and the Polish border makes the city a strategic point for tourism, exports and logistics.

• IT and outsourcing — Ivano-Frankivsk ranks among the top 5 IT cities of Ukraine. Eleks (founded in Lviv but with strong presence here) and other companies actively hire designers and developers.
• Tourism and hospitality — Bukovel, the Dragobrat and Volovets ski resorts, thousands of hotels, restaurants and rural homestays. All of them need modern websites with booking and multilingual support.
• Wood processing and furniture — the Carpathians provide raw material, and manufacturers export to Poland, Germany and Austria.
• Food production — artisan cheese, honey, mushroom products, berries, bryndza, Hutsul delicacies for both domestic and international markets.
• Construction and real estate — new residential complexes, cottage settlements, infrastructure for tourists.

Benefits for Frankivsk businesses

Ivano-Frankivsk is a city with a large IT community and a strong culture of quality. Local companies are used to high standards, so template solutions do not work. I bring experience that combines global design practice with an understanding of the Ukrainian context. The remote format suits Frankivsk clients well: everything happens through Zoom, Figma, Notion, with full transparency at every stage. When needed, I travel to Ivano-Frankivsk for key presentations.

An additional advantage is my experience with product IT companies, which is especially valuable for Frankivsk startups and teams building SaaS products for Western markets.

Industries with proven success in Ivano-Frankivsk

Over the past 15 years I have shipped projects for Carpathian-based clients in tourism and hospitality, ski resorts, artisan food producers, furniture manufacturers, IT product startups, regional retailers, healthcare networks and educational platforms. For tourism clients I emphasize emotional visual storytelling, multilingual booking, mobile-first design and integration with channel managers like Booking and Airbnb. For furniture exporters I deliver multilingual B2B catalogs, downloadable specifications, certification badges and lead-generation flows tailored to European wholesale buyers. For artisan food producers I focus on packaging, brand storytelling and direct-to-consumer eCommerce that converts.

Working with Frankivsk IT product teams

If you run a SaaS startup in Ivano-Frankivsk, I can act as a fractional design lead — running the design system, mentoring junior designers, shipping new feature flows and aligning the visual language with your brand strategy. Many local IT teams have strong engineering but lack senior product design talent in-house. A retainer engagement gives you that capability at a fraction of the cost of a senior hire.

Carpathian tourism positioning

Tourism is one of the most challenging design verticals because emotional resonance and conversion must coexist. For my Frankivsk hospitality clients I focus on photography direction, visual storytelling that captures the spirit of the Carpathians, atmospheric typography choices, and conversion-focused booking flows that respect the visual storytelling. The result is a website that does not feel like a generic Booking.com listing but at the same time outperforms generic listings on direct conversions, helping owners reduce dependence on aggregators and capture more revenue at higher margins.

Wood and furniture export websites

Carpathian wood and furniture manufacturers compete primarily in Polish, German, Czech and Austrian markets. The websites I build for these clients emphasize multilingual product catalogs with downloadable specifications, FSC and PEFC certification badges, multilingual blog content for organic SEO, and lead-generation forms tailored to wholesale buyers. I also help integrate downloadable product passports, MOQ rules and lead-time calculators directly into product pages. The result is a site that pre-qualifies inquiries before they reach the export sales team.

Confidentiality and reliability

I sign NDAs as standard practice before any briefing call, store all project files in encrypted folders, and follow strict separation between client engagements. Contracts are written in Ukrainian or English depending on your preference, and all paperwork is fully compliant with Ukrainian tax law for sole proprietors.
