Hi, I'm Serafima Mikheeva
a product designer with 5+ years of experience in complex services and fintech
MOBILE / WEB
B2B / B2C
At Alfa Investments, I design the partner product marketplace and cards for exchange-traded and over-the-counter assets across primary and secondary markets.

I bring energy to product teams, think beyond individual features and work across teams, business units and partners. I dig into problems and use research to guide decisions.
Experience
Alfa Investments
2025 - present
Launched junior brokerage accounts, a partner product marketplace and OTC asset cards. The marketplace's MAU grew 10x in one year. Created a roadmap for the Long-Term Savings Programme.
VTB
2024 - 2025
Designed business banking journeys and services from scratch. Launched three services with the team, added key subscription management features and redesigned the management experience for mobile and web.
Hodler
2023
A crypto wallet project: developed hypotheses, redesigned the cross-platform app with new features and created an expanded web version. New features increased DAU and generated subscription revenue.
I joined to work on a rebrand and proposed building an entire platform.
With the product owner, I created a distinctive product with limited resources. It attracted several million in investment and won users' support.
