Hi! Let’s get to know you a little more :) Can you introduce yourselves? How did you become Designers?

My name is Bohdan Kononets. I was born in Ukraine and moved to Portugal when I was 12. I’ve liked computers since my childhood. I got in the University for Computer Science and from the first days I liked everything they taught me. It inspired me.

After an internship I realized that it would be difficult for me to work for someone because of my character and work approach, so I decided to create something my own. I was doing a very poor job at first, but after some time I managed to create something good — so that’s how I became a designer and did prototyping. Since then I stopped programming completely. I just look after the front-end quality of all mockups we create at Flat_Studio.

My name is Viacheslav Kornilov and I’m from Moscow, Russia. I became a designer purely by accident. With my friends we were launching startups and different games, and we needed a person who could manage all the problems that design could solve.

But still, I don’t think that’s when I became a designer. You really become a designer when you complete the entire job and launch a product. Then I started to be seriously interested in front-end: when you know the front-end a bit then you design better.
