Anton Tekhtelev Head of Product and Business Development at Guavapay
When we talk about user experience, the first things that come to mind are colors, layouts, and interactions.

I’m Anton, and I’m responsible for product growth at Guavapay. My job is to make sure our products grow and that our users don’t grow grey hairs trying to figure them out.
