👋 Hi, I’m Anna Atiagina, Sr UX Designer

Seattle-based · English / Russian / Spanish · Designing at the intersection of UX, AI, and collaboration platforms

About Me

I’m a Senior UX Designer at Workday, creating intelligent, intuitive experiences that help people work smarter.
I currently lead design for the Workday Agent System of Record (ASOR) — Workday’s new platform for managing AI agents — and previously shaped Workday Everywhere and Microsoft Copilot integrations across Teams and Slack.

My expertise includes translating advanced AI principles (LLMs, A2A protocols) into scalable, user-centric experiences, and a proven ability to deliver measurable product impact. For example, 130% increase in Monthly Active Users (MAU) of Workday Slack and Microsoft Teams integrations over two years. I’m also pretty good at animation and prototyping, as I have been creating hero videos and product gifs that were featured at all major Workday events.

What I Do

I work at the crossroads of human-AI interaction, systems design, and cross-platform experiences — turning emerging technology into simple, trustworthy tools.

I’m most energized by:

• Tackling complex, ambiguous spaces and finding clarity through design

• Collaborating closely with research, product, and engineering

• Translating technical concepts into experiences people genuinely enjoy using

• Leaning new tools, right now I’m into experimenting with Lovable and building complex prototypes that are able to identify user intent and follow complex logic

Current Focus

• Agent System of Record (ASOR) — defining UX foundations for agent creation, monitoring, and orchestration in enterprise AI.

• Microsoft Copilot × Workday — exploring AI assistance in the flow of work

• AI Design Standards — shaping consistent interaction and visual frameworks across Workday AI products

Academic Background

I hold a Candidate of Sciences (PhD-equivalent) degree in Linguistics, where my research examined Twitter as a discourse practice — analyzing large multilingual datasets (English, Russian, Spanish) using early natural-language processing (NLP) techniques in collaboration with engineers from Universidad del Estado de México.
That foundation in language, data, and communication still shapes how I think about clarity, tone, and interaction design in AI-driven products.

Before Workday

At Amazon Alexa, I designed multimodal experiences for Echo devices and led UX for several high-impact initiatives:

• Alexa Music Growth team: Designed engagement experiments and retention features that increased listening time and repeat usage across voice and visual surfaces (with some of the experiments leading up to 300% growth for Alexa music features).

• Media Portability workstream: Created the vision for Alexa Guest Connect, Follow-Me Music, and cross-device media continuity.

• Collaborated with product and engineering to establish scalable patterns for voice + touch interaction across the Alexa ecosystem.

These projects taught me how to align interaction models across devices and modalities at massive scale.
