Creator of design communities and AI products for the creative industry, CPO and co-founder of Ref and OHMYSYNT.
MARINA KISELEVA
For over 9 years, I have been working at the intersection of technology, design, and community. I founded the large design community Design Reflektorij, scale AI solutions for the creative industries, and fine-tune LLMs to optimize design workflows.
Design Reflektorij
ex Lektorij
is a community of 10,000+ graphic, digital,
and product designers from across Europe.

As the founder and creative producer, I attracted top experts on a non-commercial basis through
a strategy of mutual exchange — offering a platform for experimentation, personal brand growth, industry influence, and access to an exclusive community.
I organized over 50 events, from lectures to professional conferences, creating a space for like-minded designers to share knowledge and grow together.

Our mission is to make access to expert-level knowledge cheaper, faster, and more scalable.
