I’ve had the privilege of working with Egor Kosmachev, Design Director at Xsolla, for the past year. Egor is an outstanding leader who manages a large and diverse design team with clarity and empathy. He fosters an environment where his team can thrive. It's also quite impressive how Egor keeps a strong focus on delivering impactful results at the same time.

Our collaboration between design and UX research has been one of the highlights of my time at Xsolla. Egor’s ability to align teams, integrate diverse perspectives, and approach challenges with a strategic mindset has made working together both productive and rewarding. I look forward to continuing this partnership and the shared success it brings!

I've cherished working with Egor during our time together at Xsolla. His approach to design is deeply reflective, enriched by a blend of strategic and out-of-the-box thinking.

Egor's strong visual skills and brand design background were always impactful in his works. His projects consistently balanced aesthetics with user-centered functionality.

Beyond his design talent, Egor's empathetic nature and support truly made collaborative work so productive and creative. Always understanding and reflecting, Egor was a great design peer.
I wholeheartedly recommend him for any team seeking a product designer with heart, creativity, and a genuinely strategic mind ❤️

We worked with Egor in the same domain - Funding.

As a design manager, Egor has always actively supported all of the team's initiatives. He listened, helped and gave constructive feedback.

The main achievement of Egor was creation of product and design synergies. Due to his excellent soft-skills Egor also had a personal approach to each member of the team, creating a great atmosphere to work in.

As a Product Manager, I was happy to see that the designer was a valuable member of the team and could offer solutions that would improve the customer experience and help improve the business results of the products.

I had the pleasure of working with Egor for two years at Xsolla, where he served as Director of Product Design and was also my direct manager for a significant part of that time.

Egor is a strong design leader who knows how to build effective processes and create clarity within growing product teams. He consistently worked to protect his team’s focus and interests, ensuring designers could do their best work while staying aligned with business goals.

What sets Egor apart is his human approach to leadership. He leads with trust, gives ownership, and genuinely cares about the people he works with. I would confidently recommend him to any product team in a growth phase looking for a thoughtful, strategic, and people-oriented design leader.

I had the privilege to work intensively with Egor on a few projects during the fast-race-changing environment in the design team. He takes on a lot of responsibility as a design manager. He drives initiatives that involve himself across the full spectrum of tasks to ensure the quality of the products and the design team`s performance. As a team player, Egor is a person you can rely entirely on because he builds up trustful relationships with his colleagues and product owners. He is a purebred designer with a user-centered mindset that can also think creatively and uses his creativity.

Working with Egor was a tremendous and stimulating experience that I would recommend.

I work with Egor in Xsolla from my beginning.
In his work he pays attention to details and focusing on the goal. 

Egor is very friendly and polite,
he always cares about his team and their mental health.
Egor raised a lot of specialists from interns and juniors.

On a personal level I’ve always found Egor very approachable and willing to share his experiences and knowledge.
It is a great pleasure to work together!

During the year of me working with Egor, he showed himself as a very talented and devoted designer, able to listen and focused on learning.

As a manager I value these faculties the most, as they allow for a professional growth especially in such a quickly developing field of Human-Computer Interaction Design.
