Danila Ermolenko

Founding designer in Lisbon

I help early-stage startups design their product, from the first sketch to launch. When it helps, I build the frontend too.

About

As a founding designer, I own the whole product: flows, interfaces, the design system and the visual language.

On Tenor, I was the only designer for ten months. I built the design system from scratch and shipped three products on it.

I started as a frontend developer more than ten years ago, and I still write code: prototypes, websites and frontends in React, Next.js or Webflow.
