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.
Trusted with product design at:
Experience
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.
Artificial Intelligence
I run agent loops remotely on a dedicated machine, Claude for project planning, Mimo for development and review. Claude Design handles product discovery and iterative prototyping; whatever survives gets hardened into a Figma design system. I work spec-first with OpenSpec and put every implementation through extensive QA before its committed. Staging builds run on VMs, and production ships on Cloudflare.
I maintain two scaffolds, a Flue agent harness over TanStack, Hono, Cloudflare, and Capacitor for web applications, and an Apple Intelligence Swift scaffold for MacOS and iOS. Each scaffold is assembled from skills and MCP servers relevant to that stack. Building software prototype takes between a weekend and a week.
Projects
Colophon
Built with Astro 6, designed using Claude Code, Paper and largen. 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.

Multiple
At Gigster (2017), Persista (2016), Verdigris (2014), I held a Product Design role, owning areas such design libraries, marketing sites, landing page conversion flows, and feature design. At Altius Education (2012) and Pryor Design (2010), I worked as a hybrid UX Designer and Drupal Developer. I was trained through the Whitespace Designer Accelerator (2016) with mentorship from designers at Dropbox, LinkedIn, and Google.
