I’m Anja, product designer who's branched out to vibe coding, growth, and product strategy to help startups ship and grow. I'm open to new: if you're looking for a no-nonsense product generalist, let’s talk: LinkedIn / hi@anja.design
Led PLG initiatives and product automations to help the sales-led business at Vainu grow. Details on LinkedIn, case studies coming soon ✏️
Led design and experimentation in the growth team at Grafana to help self-serve users succeed. Before that, shipped AWS integrations and access control management in Grafana Cloud. Details on LinkedIn, case studies coming soon ✏️
Led a cross-functional project to kickstart product experimentation at Aiven. Partnered with a growth marketer to lead the project, and worked with engineers and analysts to set up infrastructure. Designed and shipped the first experiment focused on user activation, and paved the way for ongoing experiments and growth.
A few older projects so you can see my approach in different contexts
Conversion optimization for Perk, a bold boutique clothing brand. Sharpened messaging and restructured content on landing pages to strengthen brand positioning and build trust faster. Reduced the number of purchase steps to boost checkout conversion.
Visual identity and website overhaul for Osiguranik, a leading insurance marketplace in Serbia. Working with the client and my team at Alpha Design, I helped the brand position themselves as a trusted advisor for a young audience.
Design of Bebbo, UNICEF's parenting app. The app was commissioned to help Halo Beba - a Serbian phone counseling service for parents - offer preventive support. Over the years, however, Bebbo evolved past its original mission and design, ultimately reaching 14 countries, exceeding 1 million downloads, and becoming UNICEF's flagship parenting app. Working with my team at Alpha Design, I designed the first version of the app and created a lightweight design system to support future iterations.
I'm based in Helsinki and work with companies in EU and US time zones. Reach out, I'm always happy to connect with fellow designers, builders, and product people.
