About
Hey, I'm Vik.
I'm a product-minded Experience Designer with 3+ years of experience building intuitive digital experiences across mobile and web. I studied Experience Architecture and Human-Computer Interaction at Michigan State University, where I developed a deep appreciation for designing with empathy and intent.
Most recently I shaped the user experience at Canopy Security - a Ford/ADT vehicle cybersecurity JV - where I worked on design, research, and product efforts to create experiences that made vehicle safety feel simple and accessible.
Before that, I was a UX Design Intern at GE Renewable Energy, where I built a design system from scratch and redesigned enterprise dashboards used by 200+ field technicians.
I'm currently open to UX and product design roles across government, enterprise, and consumer product — with a particular interest in teams working at the intersection of AI and human-centered design.
What I Bring to the Table
I don't just ship screens.
I understand the product problem behind the design problem — and I know how to move work through a real organization.
