Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDanny Udobnyi is a Senior Product Designer based in Helsinki with over a decade of hands-on experience crafting user-friendly digital products across web, mobile, CRM, gaming, and mapping domains. He blends a strong typographic and illustrative background with product-minded design, having progressed from sole designer and art director to co-founder and senior roles at Yandex, Mapbox, and now Open Builders. At Mapbox he led iconography and map styling efforts, initiating the first 100 3D landmarks despite no prior 3D experience, and his open-source contributions to the well-known Maki icon set show a practical attention to visual consistency and scalable graphic libraries. Known for speeding up workflows—automating map overlay libraries at Yandex to cut update cycles from days to minutes—he excels at bridging visual craftsmanship with product strategy and engineering collaboration. Colleagues describe him as a hands-on design generalist who favors pragmatic innovation and teamwork over design for its own sake.
