About

I'm Kirill Melikhoff, founder of Astrola. I build products for people — not for show, not for awards. Just real solutions to real problems.

I came into product design through experience, not theory. I saw how poor design creates real friction in people's lives. Confusing interfaces. Unnecessary steps. Products that ignored the user. I knew it could be different. That conviction led me to start building.

Now I run Astrola — a product studio focused on quality over quantity. Every project is a chance to solve a real problem and create something that matters.

When I'm not building products, I'm into games, cinema, music, 3D. I have a deep love for films and soundtracks. The way a scene breathes. The way music carries emotion. That sense for rhythm and atmosphere feeds everything I create.

That's why I started Astrola Cinematics — cinematic playthroughs of story-driven games. No commentary. No noise. Just the story. It's not a business. It's a creative outlet. And it shapes how I think about products.
