About
Design taste. Product thinking. Working software.
I'm Maxim Esipov. I've been making motion since 2016: interface animation, explainers, 3D and release campaigns for agencies, product teams and musicians. Now I build the products myself — AI tools for creative work, from an assistant inside After Effects to a memory that lives in Telegram — and I care about how they look and move as much as about how they work.
