About

Hi, I am Anna.

I turn “What if?” into “Why didn’t we do this sooner?”

Senior Product Designer for AI-powered products, e-commerce, and complex workflows. 7+ years in product design, 10+ building products. NYC / NJ · Open to remote & hybrid.

I turn complex products, workflows, and data into experiences people actually understand. My work spans AI-powered search and merchandising, e-commerce journeys, operational tools, data-rich dashboards, and the design systems that hold it all together.

I take work from “we have a problem” to “it’s live” — discovery, flows, prototypes, experiments, launch — side by side with Product, Engineering, Research, Marketing, and SEO. Yes, I will ask “why?” five times. Politely. With a sticky note.

These days I’m deep in human–AI interaction: AI search, recommendations, conversational UX, and agents that help people make better decisions without taking the wheel. I prototype fast with Figma Make, Cursor, and Claude, because the best way to win a debate about a design is to click on it.

I started out building pattern systems for apparel factories. Now I build pattern libraries for product teams. Fewer pins, same obsession with an 8px grid.

How I work

Lead with the system, prove with the numbers.

01

Systems before screens

I map how a product actually behaves — user types, states, edge cases — then rebuild the foundational flow on a shared model. Components, not pages.

02

Evidence, not assertion

Every metric I claim has a method behind it: instrumented funnels, transaction logs, moderated usability sessions. I show the receipts.

03

Trustworthy AI

I design confidence cues, easy overrides, and reversible actions so people stay in control of what a model suggests.

04

Multiply the team

I govern design systems, mentor designers, and set the research bar — so quality scales past any single person's output.

Experience

7+ years leading product design, 10+ building products.
