I’m Yana Welinder.

CEO and Co-Founder of Kraftful. Helping innovative product teams build better products.








Product leader by day.

Artist by night.

Always a fan of big ideas.








When I’m not building products…

I hang out with my creative little digital native and his dad, paint and photograph the world as I see it, and co-lead the Women in Product chapter in San Francisco.

 

Before starting Kraftful

I headed up the product team at IFTTT, helping people to unlock magical experiences by connecting their different products. In previous roles, I worked on disrupting manufacturing with digital production at Carbon and tackled free knowledge creation on Wikipedia. I also co-created CollabMark, an open source and free culture brand guide, which has been adopted by Wikipedia, OpenStreetMap, and Node.js.
