I design products that work as well as they look. From operator consoles for industrial control systems to deep-tech prototypes — every solution is built on engineering understanding, not just visual instinct.

About

ValiandStudio — where engineering meets design

ValiandStudio is the design division of ValiandTech. I don't separate "beautiful" from "properly engineered" — a product's form is part of its structure, not decoration on top.

My background in nanoengineering and electronics gives a rare combination: I understand how a product works inside, and I can design something that can actually be manufactured. This is especially valuable when working with technical teams — we speak the same language from day one.

I work with startups, small manufacturers, and engineering teams — places where a designer is needed not to "make it pretty," but to make the product fundamentally better.

Services

Industrial design — from the first brief to the final render

01

Product Industrial Design

Full design cycle from scratch — suitable for startups and small manufacturers who need a designer that thinks in metal, not mood boards.

  • Brief analysis and usage scenarios
  • Sketches and form concepts
  • Material and structural decisions
  • 3D model and presentation package
02

Operator Stations & Workstations

Specialisation: industrial and medical workstations. I understand the operator's tasks from the inside — the ergonomics are backed by calculations, not guesswork.

  • Ergonomic analysis per GOST / ISO 9241
  • Layout and form development
  • Cable management, levelling, adjustments
  • 3D models and manufacturing recommendations
Article: machine ergonomics & operator output →
03

3D Concepts & Visualizations

Renders for pitch decks, landing pages, and marketing materials. The product doesn't exist yet — but investors already see it in metal.

  • 3D modeling or refinement of existing geometry
  • Materials, lighting, environment
  • Renders at required angles and formats
  • Basic post-production
04

CAD & Polygonal Modeling

A production-ready model from your drawings, sketches, or description. I work in both worlds — precise parametric CAD and organic polygonal modeling.

  • From drawings, sketches, or specification
  • Export to required formats (STEP, STL, OBJ…)
  • Drafting and schematics if needed
05

Existing Product Redesign

The product works, but looks like 2010? I'll update the form factor, improve ergonomics — and show how it will look in the new version before production.

  • Audit: visuals, ergonomics, materials
  • Redesign concepts
  • Recommendations for simplifying production
How ergonomics affects output →
06

Interior Design

Apartment or small facility with implementation cost calculation. Layout, electrical, lighting, material specifications.

  • Layout and zoning
  • Electrical and lighting layout
  • Visualizations of key rooms
  • Budget estimate
07

Consultations & Reviews

We review your sketch, concept, or idea. Suitable when you need an expert engineering-design perspective before committing to production.

  • Online or written correspondence
  • Review of sketches, models, concepts
  • Concrete recommendations for the next step

FAQ

How working with me is organized

Do you work under NDA?

Yes. Confidentiality is a baseline condition: drawings, renders and any project materials are never published or shared with third parties without your consent. I'm ready to sign your non-disclosure agreement before we discuss any details.

Do I need a prototype to start?

No. A task description is enough — sketches, references or a technical brief. I work in CAD (Siemens NX) and validate solutions virtually: ergonomics, assembly, fits and tolerances are checked on the 3D model long before a physical prototype is made.

Do you only "draw pictures" or produce real drawings?

An engineering approach — from sketch to production documentation. You get a working package, not pictures: a CAD 3D model, drawings that account for the manufacturing technology, specifications and presentation renders. The factory can work with these files directly.

How is the project cost estimated?

Transparently, before any work starts: briefing → task analysis → a fixed stage-by-stage quote or an hourly rate — whichever suits your format. The quote is fixed in the contract and doesn't change unless the technical brief does.

Do you work with international clients?

Yes. Experienced in fully remote collaboration: calls, interim presentations, file delivery — all online. The site and documentation are maintained in Russian and English, and designs account for international ergonomics and safety standards.

Working on ergonomics for an operator console today. Interesting finding: even a 2 mm shift in armrest height measurably affects fatigue after a 4-hour shift. Engineering is in the details.

Collaboration

Open to work

Internships

I want to grow alongside strong specialists. Open to relocation and business trips.

Project Teams
