Anastasiia Kabalkina
Lead Product Designer at VK Tech, ex-PwC, with 7+ yrs of experience in designing digital products, processes and design systems.
Super Skills
Solving product design problems, structuring chaos and improving efficiency. I use modern CX frameworks, and pay attention to details, people, and their needs.
Mentorship. Teaching
Mentor with 150+ hours of mentorship. Regular guest speaker in the Sheeep community for young designers.
Instructor of an online course on the Whiteboard Challenge.
Author of an intensive course on B2B product design.
Experience
As a Lead Product Designer I’m responsible for UX/UI, visual style, UX writing and design systems for more than 6 digital B2B FinTech products.
I pay great attention to hands-on work in Figma, actively work on developing the design system, automation, and process optimisation, and always keep my focus on people — both users and colleagues.
As a key contributor, I implemented a user-centred product development process and assisted the team in positioning the VK Tax Compliance product as the top solution for government and business (2024) and one of the top 3 solutions for tax monitoring (2024).

About my life
I live with my family in a wonderful and inspiring place at the edge of the world — Gijón, Spain.
My favourite things include walking along the ocean shore, building sandcastles, traveling around Spain, collecting Lego sets, and studying Egyptian hieroglyphs.
