Hey there!

I'm Inna

I'm a Staff Product Designer with 10+ years turning complex backend systems into experiences that actually make sense to the people using them.
My background in software engineering means I don't just hand off specs - I work fluently at the intersection of design and engineering, asking the hard questions early and building systems that scale. I've spent the last several years designing for distributed databases, cloud infrastructure, and developer platforms, where the stakes are high and the edge cases are endless.
I care deeply about information architecture, interaction systems, and the kind of design thinking that holds up under technical constraints. I thrive in high-ambiguity environments where design leadership means more than shipping screens — defining strategy, aligning teams, and building reusable systems that let products grow without breaking.
Peers describe me as technical and meticulous, with a curiosity that pushes the whole team forward.
Based in the San Francisco Bay Area.
