If you have the chance to collaborate with Anton, seize it.”

Stefan Helgesson
Chief Development Officer, Keystone
"Outrageously good. Few people have Anton’s eye for details. I have hired Anton for several projects ranging from brand strategy, UX/UI makeovers to complete designs. He has always delivered top notch, stellar work. I was deeply impressed by his ability to take an overly complex user interface and make it easy to use in just a few steps. You can easily tell that his decade of acquired knowledge in design and usability makes him stand out among other UX experts. It’s always reassuring to know he is on your side no matter what design project you have."
Sara Souiedan
Globally recognized expert on web accessibility
“I’ve learned a lot just watching Anton do his thing, and his insightful remarks and discussions always manage to both direct and inspire creativity and practicality. He strikes a great balance between being a great designer, director, and a friend. He cares about the health and success of his teammates just as much as he cares about the health and success of the project. I’d leap on a chance to collaborate with him on a project again.”
