Dinar Galimov

Lead Product Designer focused on Fintech, AI and Scalable Systems

I design and ship complex fintech products end-to-end - payments, accounting, reconciliation, AI-powered workflows. 12 years in the domain, including Head of Design at Finom.

I combine hands-on craft with system thinking: interaction architecture, design systems, and launch quality in products where edge cases matter.
