ANNA ATIAGINA · SEATTLE, WA

Senior UX Designer specializing in 0-to-1 AI experiences.

Portrait of Anna Atiagina

I specialize in turning technical complexity into clear, actionable design. Rather than focusing purely on visual polish, my core strength lies in designing functional user flows and mapping out the logic for new, ambiguous product areas. I bridge the gap between strategy and execution by translating high-level product vision into systemic, human-machine collaboration.

Currently designing Workday's Agent System of Record. Previously worked on the original Workday Agent for Microsoft Copilot and Amazon Alexa experiences.

How I work

I make complex products easier to understand and build.

I work best on products with changing technology, interconnected systems, and no obvious interaction pattern.

01

Define product logic before polishing the surface

I untangle the complexity of new product areas. I map the objects, relationships, and logic required to make a brand-new AI concept make sense to the user.

02

Turn goals and constraints into clear UX decisions

I take product goals, customer needs, and engineering constraints and shape them into information architecture, workflows, and practical staged decisions within my product area.

03

Use new technology to move faster

I adopt new tools quickly when they help me understand, test, or build the product better. I use functional AI-assisted prototypes to explore logic, states, permissions, and complete flows—not only screen layouts. The tool is not the strategy; it helps me turn a clear product model into something teams and customers can experience sooner.

04

Apply established foundations to new frontiers

I bridge the gap between strategy and execution. I take established enterprise design systems and creatively apply them to entirely new, uncharted product categories.

Public product visibility

Prototypes that drive executive alignment.

My high-fidelity prototypes act as the translation layer between product strategy and engineering, empowering leadership to confidently present 0-to-1 concepts on the main stage.

Background

I have a Candidate of Sciences in Linguistics, a PhD-equivalent research degree, and formal training in design. I am also an incoming Human-Centered AI student at the University of Washington HCDE. My background helps me work across language, interaction, research, and new and interconnected systems.

What I’m looking for

I’m looking for senior IC product design roles where I can help define UX for new or evolving product areas, partner closely with PM, engineering and other designers, and stay hands-on from early ambiguity through implementation. I’m less interested in design-systems-only, visual-refresh-only, or strategy-only leadership roles.

Let's talk about complex products.

I would be glad to hear what your team is building: enterprise AI, conversational experiences, or products with complex workflows and emerging technology.
