Content precedes design. Design in the absence of content is not design, it's decoration. — Jeff Zeldman

I'm Boris. I make products, and the AI inside them, sound human at scale. I can help you turn dense, technical interfaces into language that guides, reassures, and creates value. Have a look around.

Words are only half the story. For eight years, I've helped banks, fintechs and crypto products say hard things simply — with roots in poetry and linguistics. Meet the person behind the words: Who is Boris?

It has been said about me…

“Boris gave Solflare one clear voice on every screen, from onboarding to error states, with none of it sounding like filler. He is an AI-native writer whose copy never reads like it, which might be the rarest skill in the field right now. And he notices things in words that the rest of us walk right past; any product team will feel that difference within the first week.”
