  • Accessibility Advocate

    I lead accessibility audits, run assistive-tech user tests and coach teams to embed inclusive design everywhere.

    I craft end-to-end systems from docs to atomic components and train teams to work with the system, not just its library.

  • AI Experience Design

    I architect user–AI interactions, define prompt flows, shape model outputs to meet needs and uphold ethical guardrails.

  • UX Research Expert

     I run moderated interviews, surveys, usability tests, card and tree sorting to uncover deep user insights.

  • Cross-Team Leadership

    I create design-ops rituals, streamline handoffs and mentor teams to align design, product and engineering.

  • Rapid Prototyping

    I craft high-fidelity flows in Figma and prototyping tools within hours to test and refine ideas.

Vahan provides clear direction and steady support, creating an environment where designers can do their best work.

Working under Vahan’s leadership was one of the most valuable experiences of my design career. He leads with clarity, trust, and a deep understanding of both product and people. Vahan always pushed me to think deeper, design smarter, and take ownership - while still being incredibly supportive every step of the way. Any team would be lucky to have him at the helm.

Vahan is one of the most thoughtful and collaborative product designers I’ve had the pleasure of working with.

Throughout our time working together, he consistently demonstrated a deep understanding of user-centered design, while also being highly mindful of technical constraints and implementation realities. I appreciated how Vahan proactively engaged with our engineering team early in the process—solving potential challenges before they became blockers. His ability to communicate design decisions clearly and adapt based on feedback made cross-functional collaboration smooth and productive. Vahan doesn’t just design beautiful interfaces; he designs smart, scalable solutions that truly elevate the product.
