About me

A big fan of Coffee,

Figma plugins, and

Design that lasts.

Hi there, I am Eldar Gilmanov,

I am a Product Designer with a background in human-centered design, illustration, and crafting 0-to-1 products for web and mobile platforms. I care about creating intuitive and engaging interactions that deliver meaningful, lasting experiences. Currently, I am pursuing a Master’s in Design for Interactions at Carnegie Mellon University.

At Carnegie Mellon, I have prototyped sensor-driven interactions, facilitated cross-functional teams, and explored AI’s place in the design process. I thrive in environments where creativity, collaboration, and craft intersect—and where design serves users, systems, and environments.

When I'm not behind my laptop screen, you can find me curating a photoshoot, working my espresso machine, or filling out pages of my sketchbook. Depending on the season, you might also find me on a tennis court or a ski slope. I am a big fan of all things NYC, and good design.

Always looking to build new connections!
