About Simon Kulkov
Lead Product Designer at Independent
I'm a Lead Product Designer with 10+ years of experience building enterprise SaaS products and data platforms. I've worked at Grab, Miro, Ansarada, and Lazada, helping teams turn complex technical systems into clear, usable product experiences.
My expertise spans enterprise UX, data platforms, integrations, security, and developer-facing tools. I combine product thinking and user research with a practical understanding of engineering constraints to design solutions that work for both users and businesses.
I can help you sharpen your product thinking, review your portfolio, navigate complex design challenges, communicate decisions to stakeholders, and prepare for your next career step.
My mentoring style is practical and collaborative: we'll work through real problems, challenge assumptions, and identify actionable next steps.
