Nikolay Chigirev / Lead UI/UX Designer
I designed both sides of a complex booking ecosystem: a customer-facing B2C experience for cruise passengers and a professional B2B toolset for travel agents. Same reservation logic, but very different users, workflows, and interface needs.
I use AI to accelerate research, exploration, prototyping, and production while keeping product decisions, UX logic, and visual direction under my control.
AI supports the process. It does not replace design judgment.
The Work
The same reservation logic supports two very different experiences: a guided customer journey for cruise passengers and a flexible professional workspace for travel agents.
B2C — Consumer Passenger Experience
A single consumer-facing application covering the full passenger journey — from cruise search and cabin booking, through pre-voyage check-in and compliance, to onboard services and shore excursions. One configurable product, branded and tailored for each cruise line.
B2B — Professional Travel Agent Tools
A comprehensive toolset for travel-industry professionals — cruise agents, tour operators, and group booking managers — built to handle the full complexity of enterprise reservation management. It's the agent-facing layer of the reservation system, used across the cruise industry.
About
I'm a Lead UI/UX Designer focused on complex enterprise applications where dense business rules, multi-step workflows, and large amounts of information need to remain clear and manageable.
Much of my experience comes from long-running products rather than many short projects. This has required a deep understanding of product logic, close collaboration with business and development teams, and consistent design decisions that can support years of growth and change.
I'm currently open to senior and lead UI/UX roles where product thinking, visual quality, and practical collaboration are equally valued.
Resume
Open to product companies, agencies, and enterprise environments.
