About ilyabirman

I’m a product, web and app designer. Among my professional interests are information display, web, user interface, typography, typefaces and layout.

I’m fascinated by transportation, signage and wayfinding.

I enjoy music and sometimes compose my own.

I live in Chelyabinsk, Russia.
