Dodo Pizza & Drinkit in the TOP 3 🏆 Yury Vetrov just published his fresh research on how the industry perceives product design teams in Russia for 2025. They surveyed 1,291 specialists, asking which companies build strong products, where designers can actually learn and grow, and where you can have a normal life as a designer without constantly fighting managers for the right to do your job. https://lnkd.in/e8-ThPP2 🫰 Dodo Brands is consistently at the top of the rankings this year: — Design strength of products: 3rd place — 55.1% of respondents highlighted us, right next to T-Bank and Yandex (just 1% and 0.2% gap) — “Where you can grow as a designer”: also 3rd place — 47.6% — Most attractive offer: 3rd again — 41.2% would choose to work on our product if they had complete freedom of choice But here’s what matters most to me, friends: In the category “Where design culture is strong and managers understand and value design,” Dodo came in first place among all companies. 41.6% of respondents put us here — ahead of banks, marketplaces, and major tech ecosystems 🔥🔥🔥 To me, this is a signal that our bet on design culture, respect for designers, and the tight “brand–product–marketing” loop is becoming visible not just internally, but externally too. It’s not only about interfaces and features — it’s about how the team is built, how managers collaborate with designers, how we discuss product decisions and tackle complex challenges. The market reads all of it. Of course, this kind of research has its limitations: the survey was conducted in design community channels, so it’s still a “community perspective” rather than objective truth. But either way, for employer branding and for designers themselves, it’s an important mirror — showing where you’re already at the top and where you still need to level up your products, processes, and public presence. I’m proud that 🦤 Dodo Pizza & 🐳 Drinkit are already seen as a place where you can build a strong product, learn, and not burn all your energy fighting for the right to do design. Now the challenge is to back up this reputation with products and case studies — not just rankings. 💅 Design is a fight to build great and meaningful products. I’m incredibly happy and grateful to the team and everyone who voted and supports us! Thank you! 🫰

🚨 Unpopular design opinion Some of the best product designers today didn’t come from fancy design schools or big conference circuits… They came from Yandex. Yes, Yandex has quietly produced more killer designers than most “top” design programs combined. The way they blend Swiss design discipline with that signature Russian craft + technical rigori is an art altogether. I was browsing some of their recent drops, and it reminded me of the feeling I get when I see teenage engineering’s products, truly timeless. Now add the Yandex design mafia to that list. These folks are quietly crushing the craft game. #productdesign #uxdesign #designculture #digitalcraft #inspiration

📱 Day 3/15 – UX Audit Series App: BookMyShow 🎬 | Screen: Region Selection What works ✅ - Clear intent: user immediately understands that location drives the experience. - Direct task flow: no clutter, just a single focus: pick your city. - List view: familiar, alphabetized layout makes scanning easier. What could improve ⚠️ - Forced step: no “skip” or explore option; first-time users might drop off. - Accessibility: light placeholder + thin icon strokes may miss contrast targets. - Long lists = long scroll: no A–Z index or jump shortcuts under “Other Cities.” UX takeaway (laws to remember) 💡 - Jakob’s Law: users expect standard patterns (search + skip); removing them adds friction. - Peak-End Rule: first impressions matter; forcing choices too soon can create negative recall. 👉 What’s your take? Would you prefer being forced to pick a city, or given the freedom to explore first? #UXAudit #MobileUX #BookMyShow #ProductDesign #UXDesign #JakobsLaw #UXResearch
