Profile: https://flows.cv/sanvika

A Product Designer with a background in Product Design and Human-Computer Interaction, designing data-driven and AI-enabled products with a strong focus on clear layouts, information hierarchy, and intuitive onboarding. I have owned design end-to-end from understanding user needs and structuring complex information to delivering high-quality, accessible UI in Figma. I thrive in fast-moving, collaborative teams and enjoy making thoughtful design decisions that help users succeed quickly.

I design products for moments that matter, where clarity builds trust and good decisions depend on good design. My work centers on navigating complexity and designing systems that feel intuitive, reliable, and grounded in real user needs.

I am known for:
- Simplifying complex, trust-sensitive workflows without dumbing them down
- Designing AI-assisted experiences that feel transparent, human, and accountable
- Strong layout and systems thinking paired with a deep patience for iteration
- Rapid experimentation, testing, and learning because the first answer is rarely the best one

I thrive in fast-moving teams where curiosity is valued and design has a real seat at the table. If you care about building products that earn trust and stand up in the real world, we’ll probably get along!
