About Me. My Story.

I’ve always been driven by a passion for bringing people and solutions together. Growing up in Trichy, South India, I led academic enthusiasts to victory in cultural competitions and founded an inter-collegiate fine arts club that continues to thrive. These early experiences in storytelling, systems thinking, and leadership shaped my approach to problem-solving.

In 2010, I began designing and developing enterprise B2B and B2B2C applications that touch millions of lives. A decade in North America honed my ability to lead teams, launch products, and craft user-centered experiences, from mobile apps to kiosk interfaces.

Now, based in Europe, I’m reimagining my approach with a focus on sustainability and inclusivity. Each city I’ve lived in has deepened my global design perspective, helping me tackle challenges from multiple angles.

Empathy lies at the heart of my work. I thrive on co-creating with cross-functional teams and users to develop impactful solutions in environments that value curiosity and diversity.

Beyond my professional role, I’m dedicated to climate activism. I volunteer my design expertise to climate tech capstones in the U.S. and mental health organizations in India, believing that design can address some of the most pressing challenges of our time.

Always moving, learning,
Vivek Vijayachandran
