About Anastasia Chistova

Senior Product Designer at Sumsub

Hey! I'm a Senior Product Designer working in fintech and compliance – high-stakes domains with some of the most interesting UX problems out there. I was the founding designer at Kikin, where I built an alternative business financing platform from scratch, and I'm now at Sumsub owning the transaction monitoring and crypto domains and shaping the design system.

Here's where I'd love to help:

Portfolio and CV reviews – real, specific feedback you can act on

Interview prep and self-presentation – how to talk about your work so it actually lands

Stakeholder communication – presenting decisions, pushing back when you need to, keeping things moving

Design foundations – UX, layout, hierarchy, research, and finding structure in messy problems

Startup vs. corporate – the real differences in pace and expectations, and which one actually fits you

And other general design questions :)

Whatever you're working through, I'd love to hear about it – come say hi.
