Georgi Varzonovtsev is a product designer at Payhawk — one of the most successful fintech startups in Bulgaria. Working on banking and accounting software might sound boring, but when a truck driver manages to log their fuel expense with a smile and even posts it on TikTok — that means the design truly works.
Before that, Georgi was a designer at Progress (formerly Telerik), where he worked on NativeChat — a chatbot platform using AI and machine learning (before they became “the new bitcoin”). He also contributed to a number of other innovative solutions across various product lines of the company.
His career began as an interaction designer at two of the most successful Bulgarian web agencies, where he worked on projects for banks, TV stations, and dozens of small and large companies. With over 20 years of experience and an active role in the UX community, Georgi is now preparing to meet the new generation of designers — who can comfortably call him ‘uncle’.
