“The main challenge was to rethink the platform’s capabilities and create a new vision of its functionality to convey the product’s value for businesses.” 

— Volodymyr Khliupin, UX researcher.

“Our team worked on this project even on December 31 and January 1. It is not because we didn’t have weekends, but because we wanted to deliver a FIRE result. The project’s release occurred right at the specified time and date. Our client was delighted as he received even more than he had expected. We managed to deliver a wow effect!” 

— Kostiantyn Potapov, project manager.

• Vessel Finance interface design ↗ for a Danish client Boel IT got an award in the “Finance Apps” subcategory.

Vessel Finance — is highly specialized software for modeling of ship investments. The Lazarev.agency team visualized complex financial data on a clear interface and simplified the processes of filling in parameters and calculating capital costs.

“The main challenge was that the previous version was based on table calculations, a huge amount of unstructured information, and a complete lack of a visual part. Our design turned out to be light, modern, and minimalistic, combining a great deal of data and interactivity. Every step of the way, the user is accompanied by a ship’s model, which changes depending on the data and empowers the user to immerse even more in the process.” 

— Oleksandr Koshytskyi, Design Lead.

• UkrainianPower ↗ —  is a showcase of independent Ukrainian creative agencies that won an award in the “Collaborative Platforms, Websites” subcategory. 

“We based our content strategy and design on emotional storytelling. That is why the website connects with the international community on an emotional level and motivates it to partner with Ukrainian agencies.” 

— Oleksandr Koshytskyi, Design Lead.

• The agency’s own website ↗ won an award in the “Corporate & Business Websites” subcategory.

“Our task was to create cool storytelling that would encourage users to read it to the end but also not distract their attention from the agency’s case studies. Leveraging interactive motion design, we united all web pages with a common theme. The grid with a fixed button draws attention, and the universal typography, I hope, will stay relevant for a long time to come.” 

— Anna Demianenko, Design Lead.

Apart from Red Dot, the Lazarev.agency website has under its belt 4 more international awards — a platinum one from Hermes Creative Awards, a nomination by The Drum Design Awards, a prize for excellence from Сommunicator Awards, and a Webby win.

“I am proud that Ukrainian agencies’ projects not only can compete with international cases but also collect awards one by one. This year has shown that we have become stronger and more confident in our own abilities. I believe that next year we’ll see even more Ukrainian cases with red dots” 

— Kyrylo Lazariev, CEO and founder of Lazarev.agency.
