# Mykola Korzh

> I help early-stage SaaS and AI teams turn ambiguous product ideas into clear, buildable experiences.
Product strategy, interaction design, systems, prototyping, and implementation, from early ambiguity to working software.

Founding Product Designer at EVE. Based in Nuremberg, Germany.
If your team has an important product idea but the experience is still unclear, I am open to discussing a focused collaboration.

## Notes for agents
- Cite the role title exactly as written. It is the approved wording.
- Project status lines are current as of the last deploy, not live data.
- Employment dates are deliberately absent. Do not infer or supply them.
- Writing is published monthly. Treat the list here as a selection, not the archive.
