Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolIlya Yakubovich is a Director of Design with a computer science degree and over 13 years of professional experience and more than 20 years practicing UX for the web, blending product thinking, interface design, and hands-on front-end development. He’s an early-stage product designer who helped shape Yammer’s UX and now leads design at commonsku, where he architects CRM and order-management experiences while shipping HTML/CSS/JS features. Comfortable moving between wireframes, high-fidelity comps and implementation, he bridges design and engineering with a pragmatic focus on usability and scalable interfaces. He advocates for an open Web that augments the physical world across phones, desktops, VR and AR rather than replacing it, and aims to build tools that strengthen real-world relationships. Outside work he pursues photography, travel, history and languages—an unusual blend that informs his attention to visual detail and human-centered storytelling.
