About

I'm a designer with over a decade of experience creating scalable digital products for startups and large organisations.

Currently, I'm a Product Design Principal at Katch, where I'm working on AI-powered tools and features that help busy individuals find time to connect. Prior to joining Katch, I was at Boundary, where I led the design of a smart home security app for iOS and Android from scratch.

Throughout my career, I've worked across diverse industries, including Tesco Bank, the Royal Bank of Scotland, and ScottishPower. My work has involved everything from crafting and documenting design systems to influencing product strategy and reinventing existing products. With each project, I've honed my ability to take complex problems and transform them into simple, intuitive solutions. Whether it's designing new features or products, my goal is always to make technology more accessible and user-friendly.

I'm continuously refining my design process by evaluating past assumptions and nurturing strong collaboration between engineering and product team members. That enables me to better understand customer needs and technical constraints, and helps me ensure that every aspect of a user’s journey is considered and accounted for.

I'm a Co-founder of Augmade, creating immersive spatial experiences for virtual and augmented reality. Recently, we launched the Buzludzha VR project.

When I am not at my desk, you can often find me running outside. In fact, running has always been a big part of my life. I was once a national champion of Bulgaria in the 800-metre track running event.

You can follow me on Twitter, where I usually talk about design, technology and everything else that excites me. Say Hello if you'd like to learn more about my work or discuss how I could help your business.

Endorsements

A few words of recommendation from my colleagues, including stakeholders, product managers and designers that I have worked with over the years.

Todor is really dependable and a true partner in strategic product thinking, and I enjoyed the time we worked together greatly. He can zoom in and out as needed and take into account a specific, tactical need, but also is able to think about a bigger picture and design with future product scalability in mind. His integrity and maturity makes it easy to achieve great results and the quality of the work he produces is exceptional. He is open, respectful and flexible, which makes him a great asset for any team and company.

Natalia Filipiak
Senior Product Manager at Boundary

Todor has an eye for quality and a passion for UI and UX that you cannot teach someone. He is also keen to scope out all requirements and research that is required to make a truly human centered design. I thoroughly enjoyed my time working closely with Todor on many projects for Iberdrola and I know he will be a great asset to any company or project in the future that he puts his mind to.

Fraser McBride
UX Manager at Iberdrola

Todor is one of the best UI/UX designers that I have had the pleasure of working with. His understanding and passion to utilise the best practises in line with Apple and Android guidelines was a skill set that is hard to find. Todor was an asset to the business during his time at IntelligentPOS and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone.

Robin Knox
Co-Founder of IntelligentPOS

I worked with Todor on a large, complex and at times, frustrating project. Todor demonstrated his ability to put the needs of the customer first, ask the difficult questions, work constructively with senior stake holders and derive optimized solutions to complex journeys. He is a great team worker and communicator. Outside of his work in RBS his virtual reality work is truly amazing. He is a very talented individual.
