I'm Vikram Rojo (he/him), a designer who pairs product strategy with agentic production at high-growth enterprise startups. I use AI to expand what gets prototyped and user experience to evaluate what works. Here's my resume.md.

About
I’m a product designer with over a decade of experience working primarily in B2B SaaS and developer tools. I specialize in translating complex problems into interfaces that feel native to the people using them. My fundamentals span the full product stack: interaction design, design systems, research, Figma prototyping and production-ready files, with frontend competency to prototype in code and work in lockstep with engineering.
Skills
I’ve joined teams as a founding designer and operated inside larger EPD orgs—both shapes suit me. More recently I’ve expanded into adjacent product marketing work and deepened my AI toolset regularly working with Claude Code, Subframe, and Agentation, and adopting custom skills for content marketing and frontend design to extend my contributions.
Projects
I’m currently advising Sleeve.fm in a GTM and product capacity, repositioning the product as an email marketing tool for creators. Locally, I work with graduate students at Michigan State University’s College of Music, to record, release and promote their repertoire.
Colophon
Built with Astro 6, designed using Claude Code, Paper and DaisyUI v5. Content is authored in markdown using typed content collections. The hero background is a real-time interactive ASCII field rendered with textmode.js, a WebGL2 creative coding library — the plasma reacts to cursor position. An email newsletter is currently under development. The source is open on GitHub.
