Jobs: Anton Bondarev, ideologist and designer products "Roketbanka"

What do you do in your work?

I come up with ideas and do so that they embodied the best. I am responsible for the services enjoyed by customers' Roketbanka ". All this should be beautiful and comfortable.

Another my goal - to attract and encourage new employees to help implement our ideas as cool as possible. To choose the best of the best, we follow a simple principle: check the requirements for the candidate himself. Did he stop there or is permanently looking for how to do better?

What is your occupation?

I studied the specialty "Automated control systems". I dropped out in his second year, because I think that experience is more useful lectures about the structure of the matrix printer.

What are your strengths and weaknesses?

I can come up with something cool or find a concise solution to any problem for a couple of seconds.

On the one hand, it's cool. On the other - I can not quickly bring their idea to others. Until I it takes a little more time.

How does your workplace?

An important condition for creating the coolest products and services - the right atmosphere. My colleagues and themselves Equips the office and even make furniture for him.

Workplace "Roketbanke" - one of the best in my life. Our office space we made ourselves, clearly understand who is also working on what. We ourselves have decided what kind of light will be comfortable, what should be the table.

With our office desks began my fascination with furniture. When it became necessary to put a big table in the open space, we did not find anything suitable. Nobody was able to offer a table for eight people, for whom it was possible to sit at any point.

Do you want to make cool - do it yourself!

My dream is that people are constantly raising the bar of quality of life. We ourselves form the requirements for the quality of absolutely everything. While we agree on the low ceilings, ugly and dull advertising signs, nothing will change.

Now, according to our drawings made by the third generation of desktops: with rosettes, without superfluous legs. They are so strong that they can dance. On the corporate parties we sometimes do so.

At the table, I spend less of their time. Only in the morning and in the evening, when you need a mouse and a big screen to solve graphic problems.

My favorite place - in a lounge on the couch next to the wall, which is painted by our friend from Barcelona. Comfortable chair we call it, with which you need not get up. Therefore, we have recently developed an internal application, with which you can order coffee, lunch or even a hookah without leaving the workplace.

What gadgets and software do you use?

My laptop for three years. Label on its cover - the best that happened to me during this time (projects, travel, dating, things).

As for the software, the number of tools I mixed to a minimum. Of the latest discoveries - Notion. This program is ideal for creating any media content.

In "Roketbanke" we are for the live chat and verbally solve any issues. actively use TelegramTo agree on where to meet and discuss everything.

Mail use only for external communication (for example, to send the bill), well and ask, did not find anyone in the office of a hat.

Is there a place in your paper work?

Yes.

Paper - my number one instrument.

On paper, you can visualize any idea absolutely. I Prefer A3 sheets, because my ideas are usually massive. :)

I like to feel like on watercolor paper remains a pencil mark or Linera. By the way, I like black Liners, buy them at MUJI.

What is in your bag?

Many things in my backpack, I surprised myself when I turned the entire contents to photograph. For example, where I have so many Japanese candies with taste of soda?

What is more:

• external hard drive with a stripe of Karl Lagerfeld;
• small multitul;
• card Osteria restaurant in Lisbon (where I tried the best Italian pasta);
• stickers "Roketbanka" that I am often asked to give;
• bag Yupi;
• notepads.

Notebooks I have a lot, but with a normally wear two: one sketches, in other text entries. The photograph shows that one of the notebooks footprints of my daughter.

Still I always carry business cards for impulsive Hunting. When I meet interesting people, I give them a business card, so they wrote a letter with a story about yourself, and we invited them for an interview.

What's your daily routine?

To sleep, I need five or six hours. I come to the office to 11:00 to avoid rush hour.

I am leaving ten o'clock in the evening for the same reason. I would be in the office until the morning sitting, but I have a cool family with whom I love to spend time.

How to pass the time in traffic jams?

Instead of thinking how to pass the time in traffic jams, I try to avoid them.

Time on the road for me the most useless. In the subway often add to favorites Interesting article, but then never read them. Sometimes the leaf through two Telegram-channel that I like: INTERNET9000 art director of "Medusa" and Dima channel Barbanel.

What's your hobby?

Almost all his hobbies I moved to work - furniture design, planning of workspaces, and even cooking.

We have a lot of attention to the creation of the internal cuisine.

Breakfasts, lunches, drinks, steaks at any time of the day are done inside the office, on a specially constructed for this production kitchen. Now we employ three cooks, three kalyanschitsy and baristas. Kitchen, ordering system, logistics - all these processes we have built themselves.

What is the role in your life sports?

I easily given any board: surf, snowboard, wakeboard, longboard. In general, all of the board, except the ironing. It is not joke.

Layfhakerstvo from Anton Bondarev

I collect graphic Novels.

Here is a selection of the best of them:

• «Mouse"Art Spiegelman;
• "Photographer" by Emmanuel Guibert, Didier Lefèvre, Frédéric Lemercier;
• "Black Hole" by Charles Burns;
• "Persepolis," Marjane Satrapi;
• "Understanding Comics" by Scott McCloud.

To better understand the comics, first read the fifth book in this list.

In the first four novels, with the exception of "Black hole" in which the main thing - the style and atmosphere, tells the true story, shrill, social, shocking.

All perceive comics as something entertaining. Believe me, after reading, for example, "Photos" - the story of the heroic humanitarian mission in Afghanistan in 1979 - you will change your mind. A "Mouse" - the only comic book, Pulitzer Prize.

Your readers farewell Layfhakera

Be bold. Do not be afraid to make mistakes, no matter what is steep and large company you are working.

The more people who use the results of your work, the greater will be the benefit of your experiments. If you are authorized to create something, do not do it the way you did before. It will not do the world much good. Only re-inventing the wheel, we can move the industry forward and evolve.
