Hey, I'm Vik.
Head of Design & AI-first Founding Product Designer.

For 14 years, I've been building teams, shaping product vision, and design complex B2B and B2C experiences from first sketch to launch.

▷ AI-first

I'm an AI-first designer who believes that designers should build with AI and incorporate AI into prototyping and design thinking. I'm a builder who regularly uses n8n, Loveable, Bolt and Claude Code.

As an example, here is a suite of tools my team and I developed as part of a discovery sprint at Lightful. Each week we added a new tool, and tested them with real users (100+) - the best tools we went on to iterate, and develop.
