I'm Igor Podoprygora — a product designer who turns unscoped, half-formed ideas into shipped SaaS interfaces that teams actually want to use. Eight years across B2B, dev-tools, and AI products.

/ 01 — Selected work
A subset of recent work. Most engagements include research, IA, interaction design, and high-fidelity production handoff.
Led the redesign of Northpeak's core funnel product. Cut time-to-first-insight from 14 minutes to under 90 seconds and shipped a new query model adopted by 78% of accounts.
Designed an inline AI reviewer with disclosure-first UX: suggestions are diffable, dismissible, and rank by confidence. Activation lifted 2.4× after the redesign.
Rebuilt the planning surface from scratch — every interaction targets <2 keystrokes. Adopted by 1,200 teams in the first six months; WAU +63%.
Mobile-first redesign of a daily tracker. Replaced punitive streaks with gentle nudges; D30 retention +18%.
Node-based canvas with live preview. Worked with engineering on a custom layout engine; ships at 60fps on M1.
/ 02 — About
I started in front-end engineering and moved into design when I realized I cared more about the question "what should we build?" than the answer. Eight years later, that lens still shapes how I work — I partner closely with engineering, not over the wall.
I work best as a staff-level IC or fractional design lead for early-stage teams. My sweet spot is taking products from messy beta to confident v2: information architecture, design systems, and the unsexy interaction work that makes everything feel coherent.
