Case Study

Tutu.ru

Tutu is the largest travel service in Russia, with over 30 million users a month. I was the lead product designer, responsible for all company products. I led design of the flagship mobile app, designed a server-driven UI builder and owned the design system.

One app to bring
them all

Train tickets, flights and hotels in one app.

It appeared in 2018 as an experiment and became the flagship product. I led its design with three product teams.

Design system

I owned the design system and laid the groundwork for its next generation, with more consistent and accessible UI. A dedicated team ran it, two engineers, a product owner and me.

Backend Driven UI

I designed a server-driven UI builder. The apps ship changes without app store releases and adapt to each user.
