Summary
Alena Zhilina is a UX/Product Designer based in Madrid with 11 years of experience and 4+ years focused on product design, crafting intuitive, scalable interfaces for web and mobile. She has led end-to-end design for B2B SaaS—designing MVPs, building a design system that shortened frontend delivery time, and owning developer handoffs and specifications. Her background spans agency work and consultancy, where she shipped 30+ projects and optimized conversion-focused landing pages using research-driven decisions. Comfortable with Figma prototyping, information architecture, and cross-platform workflows, she repeatedly takes sole ownership of design initiatives and transitions them to engineering. Alena’s toolkit is complemented by product and interface certificates from Yandex Practicum and a humanities grounding in communication, which helps her translate business needs into clear experiential outcomes. Colleagues describe her as a pragmatic designer who balances visual identity and interaction detail while keeping teams aligned to product goals.
