Stas

Polyakov

T-shaped Designer & Creative Strategist with over 15 years of experience in branding, creative strategy, product design, and team management. Based in Barcelona.

I guide founders & executives from 1 to N, helping them launch products, ideate, and cultivate brands that resonate with their core missions.

For businesses that reached their product-market fit, I craft strategies to streamline communication and product design, elevating creative teams from chaos to a comfortable rhythm.


I step in as a temporary co-founder in early-stage startups, managing product design, branding, and HR with minimal resource use.


Within corporations, I typically lead SWAT-style design teams to test new hypotheses before entering new markets, reporting directly to top executives.
