What It Is

belkas.design is the personal product design portfolio of Olga Kruglova. The site presents her as having more than 8 years of product design experience across industries including financial services, publishing, oil and gas, e-commerce, proptech, and biotech, with a skill set spanning UX/UI and coding. Its focus is not an online design tool, but a set of case studies that demonstrate end-to-end product design capability.

Core Capabilities and Scope

Based on the main content, the portfolio is strongest in complex B2B and content product design. The Riskhub case study focuses on a real estate compliance data platform, covering information architecture, dashboards, permissions, task tracking, risk registers, and automated reporting. The Financial Times case demonstrates both reader-facing scrollytelling experiences and internal publishing tools for editors. The Lifebit-related cases reflect work on genomic data analysis SaaS, user research with scientific users, prototype validation, and design recommendations. In terms of collaboration, the text repeatedly mentions working with product managers, developers, editors, researchers, and stakeholders, and moving projects forward through workshops, interviews, prototypes, and developer handoff.

Pricing and Copyright

The site does not disclose service pricing, consultation methods, payment options, or a project collaboration process, so its pricing model cannot be assessed. On licensing, only © 2026 is shown; there is no stated reuse license for case study images, prototypes, design assets, or content. Commercial citation or reuse should therefore be confirmed separately.

Pros and Cons

The main strength is that the case narratives are relatively complete, showing the problem context, assumptions, research, information architecture, prototypes, testing, and delivery process. This makes it useful for hiring teams evaluating the depth of real design thinking. Its cross-industry experience and ability to simplify complex workflows are also notable. The downside is the lack of clear commercial conversion information, such as service packages, availability, client testimonials, quantified outcomes, and detailed contact information. As a portfolio, it also does not provide templates, asset libraries, or ready-to-use design tool functionality.

Who It’s For

Suitable for teams hiring senior product designers, organizations looking for UX/UI consultants, and product teams seeking references for SaaS and user research case studies. It is especially relevant for organizations with design needs around complex business workflows, B2B platforms, content publishing tools, and life sciences products.

Access from China

The crawled text does not provide information about access stability, so it is unclear whether the site can be reached directly from mainland China. Marked as unknown.
