About me

An information-security graduate who ended up making rule-heavy products kinder.

I'm Anastasiia. I'm a product designer in Oslo with 5+ years of design behind me — most of them spent on Optio Incentives, a B2B SaaS for employee share and option programs serving 300+ corporate customers in 130+ countries. I was the first in-house product designer on the product side and owned UX end-to-end.

My degree is in information & communication systems security (National Aviation University, Kyiv). I don't write policy or pentest things — but I do think in roles, permissions and rule-based interfaces, which turns out to be exactly the territory of equity, transactions and financial reporting.

Right now: AI design and AI coding with Cursor, Claude Code and Figma Make — most recently a working AI co-pilot prototype that rebuilds Optio's old share simulator, plus the Prompt Library the co-pilot's prompts live in. Before Optio: e-commerce UX and accessibility-first work for a school for children with special needs in Kyiv.

Making AI part of how I design — not a side experiment

I built a Supabase-backed prompt library in Figma Make so AI helps me where it actually helps — synthesis, copy, IA pressure-tests — instead of replacing the judgment call.

Designing for people who don't want to learn finance

The financial reporting redesign replaced Customer Success's manual Excel exports with guided self-serve flows — across IFRS, audit, period-close and ad hoc reports — cutting prep time from days to hours.

Two live AI builds — and the toolbox they came out of

The AI-fluency line on the CV isn't a claim — it's a couple of working things you can open in a new tab.

Share simulator — a working AI co-pilot prototype

Rebuilds Optio's old static simulator with an AI co-pilot that explains the numbers in plain language. Handles the edge cases: refuses to recommend, asks for missing context, switches countries, and shows the math behind every answer.

Prompt Library — Figma Make + Supabase

Five categories where AI earns its keep in my UX week — synthesis, copy review, IA pressure-tests, adversarial review, domain onboarding. Versioned prompts so I can see when a model update breaks one. Zero servers to maintain.

If any of this overlaps with what you're hiring for, I'd love a conversation.

I'm currently open to senior and lead product design roles in Oslo, hybrid, or remote within EU — ideally in fintech, compliance-heavy SaaS, or anywhere a rule-based interface needs to feel kind. Quiet outreach is welcome.
