Angelina
Shylkina.

Senior Product Designer. I turn ambiguous B2B problems into clear, measurable outcomes — through research, systems thinking, and deep cross-functional collaboration.

Eight years designing for enterprise SaaS, workflow automation, and complex data products. Currently at airSlate, previously at Cadabra Studio, Devspire, and AndersenLab. I'm happiest in the ambiguous middle: where business, engineering, and user constraints collide.

Doubling activations by removing friction from a follow-up automation flow

Inside a landing-page builder for marketers (Instapage), a built-in follow-up automation feature had near-zero adoption — the form builder showed an empty "Select email" dropdown with no path forward, and the actual setup required users to leave for a separate email tool, manually flip on the "automated" status, and find their way back. I rebuilt it as a connected cross-product workflow with pre-automated templates. Activations doubled.

Cutting template selection from 10–15 minutes to 3–5

Instapage had hundreds of templates and almost nobody using them — only ~10% of created pages started from a template. I led design end-to-end on a five-axis filter taxonomy, OR/AND query logic, and a curated catalog. Time-to-template-pick dropped roughly threefold.

Schema markup for marketers who didn't know it — and SEO experts who didn't trust AI to write it

A dual-track design: one path for non-technical users who just want valid schema generated for them, another for SEO specialists who insist on hand-editing every line. AI assist + manual edit + in-product validation, shaped by 6 moderated sessions on a Figma AI prototype.

From one big button to three intent-based doors: doubling first-time dashboard activity

Instapage's trial dashboard had a single "Create page" CTA — and almost nobody was clicking it. Users were leaving the dashboard and creating pages from a different tab. I led design end-to-end on three intent-based entry points (hero banner, filter chips, pinned template grid) and roughly doubled the share of dashboard sessions with a meaningful action in 30 days.

About

I'm a Senior Product Designer with 8+ years of experience in B2B SaaS, workflow automation, and design systems.

My strength is working in ambiguous territory — picking up unfamiliar domains, running my own research when the team needs it, and turning what I learn into shipped, measurable product decisions. I've led design across growth, core product, and design system workstreams, and I'm comfortable being the designer in the room and the facilitator of the room.

I've worked across Poland, Belarus, and USA-market products, spanning insurance SaaS, task management, document workflows, healthcare, logistics, and real estate. I speak English, Polish, French, Ukrainian, and Russian — useful for user research and cross-team work.

Outside work: horse owner, amateur photographer, pole dance.
