Say hi

Tim Zagirov · Lead Product Designer & Design Engineer

I draw interfaces.
Then ship them.

Over ten years of product design — B2B tools, AI products and design systems — at Alfa-Bank, Lyvely, Optic and ARQ, the startup I founded. I design in Figma and ship in code with AI coding agents: a developer tool for macOS, an AI meeting assistant for iOS, a console for the TV.

Shipped for, and with

Products I built

Designed in Figma, built in code with Claude Code agents

Selected work

Head of Design · 2022–2025

Optic

the tool OpenSea's moderators used to catch copied NFTs, and OpenSea then acquired.

The Optic moderation tool: an inbox of 115,321,537 matches, each a pair of NFTs side by side with its collection, chain and a match score, and three verdicts — copymint, remix, not a match.

Security platform

the start of one platform for a cybersecurity vendor's 20+ products — dashboards, widgets, and the navigation they all share.

The Events overview dashboard: average event rate and incident counts with trends, incidents by category, two area charts of events across the week, events by category and severity, and incidents by severity per day.

Lyvely

a creator platform where fans pay, on web, iOS and Android.

Lyvely: a creator's web profile, a tip being paid inside a live call, and a membership page.

Lyvely DS

AI or Not

the AI-image detector Optic launched in 2023. I designed it from the first draft until it became a company of its own.

The AI or Not verdict screen: a steampunk bird made of gears beside a huge "78%", "likely AI-generated", closest match Midjourney, a bar from Human to AI, and "Is this right? Yes / No — every answer goes back into training".

Essense

an AI tool that turns app reviews into a product team’s to-do list.

Essense: a project page with a Score of 47 and today’s top issue, and a persona you can chat with.

Founder & CEO · 2019–2023

ARQ

a no-code editor for augmented reality, from a 3D model to a link anyone can open.

The ARQ editor with a project open: scenes and objects on the left, a statue on the floor grid in the middle, the inspector on the right, and a timeline of keyframes along the bottom.

ARQ · Product Designer · 2019

Arcade Quest

a city quest for arcade games. Tetris, Space Invaders and the rest stand at spots around Kazan, and you play them in AR on the pavement.

Three Arcade Quest screens over a neon grid and the Kazan skyline: the map with game pins and a Tetris card, the title screen with Open map under a striped sun, and a Tetris stack standing in AR on a street.

Product Designer · 2018

Blinds App

an iOS app for motorised blinds, curtains and shutters, drawn for the maker of the motors.

Blinds App: the curtains, horizontal blinds and roller shutters screens, each a photo of the window over a line drawing of the blind.
