Hi, I’m Anton Shinelin, Senior Product Designer for complex, data-heavy and AI-assisted products.
I make complex expert work simple.
20+ years in design, the last decade designing products end to end across life sciences, healthcare, enterprise analytics, logistics and consumer apps.

How I work
Evidence first, from research to delivery.
Research and discovery
Interviews, workshops, card sorting and tree testing to frame the real problem before designing.
Journeys and personas
Journey maps and personas that give product and engineering one shared user model.
Prototypes and validation
Interactive prototypes and usability testing to align stakeholders and reduce risk before build.
Design systems
One UI framework and Figma libraries, so teams build on a consistent system instead of one-off screens.
Partnership
I look for the business problem behind a request instead of taking requirements at face value.
Direct collaboration
Design, product and engineering work as one team. I invite challenge and take responsibility for moving forward.
Evidence first
Decisions rest on research and real user needs, not on assumptions.
About me
Anton Shinelin
I frame problems with research, shape product strategy with product owners, and align engineering around a clear user model. I own the outcome, as the sole designer or leading a design team.
Right now I lead design for a compute platform used by life-science researchers. Before that: research and design for Google’s Workplace Guidance site, an AI tool for insurance claim adjusters at Verisk, and a marketplace for expert services at Clarivate, which I designed from first concept to launch.
