ASmirnoff is the studio of Alexey Smirnoff, a Full-Stack Software Engineer based in Northridge, CA, serving San Fernando Valley and Los Angeles. Design and engineering belong in the same conversation. We shape how a product looks, how it works and how it can evolve, with AI considered where it solves a useful problem.
02 / Design and engineering, together
Visual systems and software architecture influence each other. Working on them together helps keep the experience coherent from the first sketch to the finished interface.
