Reduced the number of pages. The main page shows all current products of the company. I updated the visual language of communication. I made the user’s experience of interacting with the site pleasant and convenient.
During this time, we have done research on Russian and foreign apps and brands to create unique communication language and visual solutions for major screens.
Together with the team, we prototyped a medical app for two users. On the patient side, you can choose an online consultation with the right doctor. On the doctor’s side, you can add your profile to the database and give consultations.

With Anton and his team, we refreshed the corporate identity, launched a new website, and organized a large-scale event. Throughout the collaboration, I was impressed by their full dedication to the project. Anton strikes a perfect balance between attentively addressing client needs and offering professional solutions that enhance the outcome, making it better, more precise, and visually appealing. Every stage of the work was well-organized, with deadlines consistently met. A rare combination of creativity and effective workflow management. Thank you for the excellent work!
I have been working with designers for about 25 years, and I can confidently say that Anton is a classic professional in this field: Anton knows how to listen; Anton knows how to think; he asks the right questions and anticipates risks. Anton offers options and always goes a little further and a bit more varied than expected — yet does it in a way that makes it easy to choose, avoiding any confusion for the client. He has a systematic approach to design, a strong sense of style, and a great work ethic. On top of all this, he possesses talent.
When our brand grew, and Canva design was no longer sufficient, we began working with Anton and his team. It was a productive and engaging collaboration, where we worked together to find our style and experimented with new formats. Anton took on the majority of design tasks for all channels and mediums, helping us streamline our communications.
It's a pleasure to work with someone who has intelligence, taste, and a unique perspective. Anton effectively and quickly solves our design tasks (and there are a whole range of them). Much of it has to be conceived almost from scratch, but we are not afraid because Anton and his super expertise are with us!
Working with a designer is not like working with a lawyer, accountant, or even a copywriter — a sense of taste is extremely important here. And this is often more crucial than experience or case studies. That’s why, after several years of working with designers, I always chose Anton first — because he will definitely deliver something great. To this quality, you can add Anton's speed (not a single missed deadline throughout our work), versatility, and clear communication. In short, this is the case when you don’t have to worry about the design. And what more could you ask for?
Anton knows his craft very well! We have been working with him for more than two years and are very satisfied. Working in an industry that evolves rapidly, we often have projects that need to be done quickly and with high quality. Anton helps us not only create a beautiful image but also consults on what would be best for the brand and subsequent work. He approaches each task with great responsibility and communicates excellently with our international colleagues to achieve the right result.
Anton delivers exceptional work on all our projects. He has taken the time to have a solid understanding of what our brand represents, how we should visually communicate and creates designs that reflect our message.
Anton is reliable and delivers works in a timely manner, which is extremely important in the fast-paced world of social media in Web3.
Anton is consistency coming up with fresh ideas that are unique and on-brand whilst often pushing the boundaries to create designs that stand out from the crowd. He is confident in his skills and design expertise and will speak up if he thinks something could be improved or waivers off our brand design guidelines. He is an asset to our company.
I would like to share my impressions of working with Anton Filonov. From the very beginning of our collaboration, Anton demonstrated professionalism, creativity, and flexibility in working on our project.
He carefully listened to all our wishes and ideas, suggested his own concepts, and provided several design options to choose from. We were impressed by how skillfully he combined our preferences with modern trends, creating a unique and stylish image.
Anton did an excellent job selecting colors, fonts, compositions, and design elements, ensuring that our project looked harmonious and cohesive. He was always available, promptly making adjustments and offering suggestions, which significantly simplified our interaction.
It’s worth noting that Anton is not only an outstanding designer but also a person with excellent communication skills, which made our collaboration even more pleasant and productive.
In the end, we got exactly what we wanted, and even more. The project was completed on time, and the result exceeded our expectations. We can confidently recommend Anton Filonov as an experienced, creative, and responsible designer.
Thank you for your work and best of luck in your future career!
Anton, in his role as a designer and creative, has helped me multiple times. I trust his vision and professionalism completely. This is one of those cases where you can fully rely on the designer and his style, step back, and not interfere until the work is done. Respect!

To launch a bar consulting/event agency, it was necessary to develop a corporate identity, logo, and overall brand identity. Since I had known Anton for a long time, both as a person and as a professional, I immediately turned to him. It was a great decision because Anton not only did everything that was needed but also explained how it all works and even introduced me to neural networks! I highly recommend him!
