Dmytro Messer

Dmytro’s path to design wasn’t conventional. Before joining Ajust Design, he worked as a marine engineer-mechanic, where attention to detail and working under pressure were daily requirements. That engineering mindset shapes how he approaches creative work today: systematically, precisely, with an eye toward how things actually function.

As a Senior Graphic Designer specializing in presentations, his favorite work isn’t just creating decks, it’s building design infrastructure that scales. He develops presentation frameworks with smart automation: structured systems where clients can add content quickly and consistently without sacrificing visual quality. It’s the intersection of design elegance and practical efficiency, where his technical background meets creative problem-solving.

His approach to large projects reveals this systematic thinking. When facing a 50-slide presentation, he builds momentum first, quickly creating concepts for simpler slides, applying that design across similar pages, then tackling complex slides last. Progress stays visible, motivation stays high. It’s smarter both mentally and practically to see most of a presentation complete rather than spending hours on difficult slides with little visible progress.

His philosophy is straightforward: good design achieves business goals. Design is a tool that helps sell ideas, products, and services. If his work positively influences client results, he considers it successful. Some of his presentations have contributed to clients earning hundreds of thousands, and even millions of dollars.

What colleagues notice is his deep technical expertise and willingness to help. Project managers come to him with questions. Other designers ask for help when files aren’t working correctly. He spots details others miss: spacing consistency, font optimization, and file compatibility issues. Beyond individual projects, he’s expanding his impact and currently planning his own presentation design course and blog, with professional equipment already in place.

Dmytro joined Ajust drawn by the studio’s minimalist aesthetic and culture of excellence. Outside work, he lives in Odesa with his wife and their toy poodle Tommy. He watches series with his wife, reads design books to keep improving, and plays computer games with friends. His life credo guides everything: “Only more and better ahead.” Don’t dwell on difficult moments, just focus on progress. Life has ups and downs, but when you keep moving forward professionally and personally, challenges become manageable. Everything gets better over time.
