Designinginterfaces forAI agents

Product designer. Seven years in fintech and data-heavy products.

Anna Parafiinyk

I’ve designed trading dashboards, payment flows and a data tokenization API — at Very Good Security in San Francisco, Hetman in New York, EstateLab in Norway. The problems I take have one shape: more data than fits on a screen, and someone who has to make a decision from it. I build design systems so the second feature costs less than the first. Now I design interfaces for AI agents, and use agents to build them.

How I work

Start with the constraint, not the canvas

I ask what breaks first: the data, the compliance rule, the legacy screen nobody can touch. Those limits shape the layout, so the design survives its first review.

Structure before surface

Flows, states and hierarchy get settled in low fidelity, where a change costs minutes. AI agents give me the first draft of that structure in a fraction of the usual time; refining it is still my job.

Handoff isn’t the finish line

I stay through the build — answering questions, fixing what drifts in the browser, checking the screen once more when real data finally lands in it.

The work I want next is AI-native — interfaces where an agent does part of the job and a person still has to accept or overrule the result. Write if you’d like to work together.
