I’m Viri — a product designer focused on how people understand, adopt, and continue using complex systems. I’ve worked on AI products at Microsoft and developer tools at AWS, where clarity, usability, and real-world performance matter.
I spend most of my time shaping interaction patterns, product behavior, and system-level decisions that need to hold as products evolve. I’m especially drawn to ambiguous problem spaces—where early decisions have a lasting impact on how a product is experienced.
How I work
I’m not the right designer for every problem—but I am for the ones that require holding a lot of complexity at once and still making a decision.
I tend to work on problems where the path forward isn’t obvious yet—where the challenge isn’t just designing the interface, but figuring out how the product should behave.
I focus on decisions that are hard to reverse: interaction models, system logic, and how a product is structured. I move fast when I’m certain, and slow down when the problem needs more clarity.
Outside Design
I have a cat named Ponyo who is clingy, dramatic, and absolutely convinced every meal is his last. I play support in Overwatch — I keep everyone alive and get zero credit for it. I go to the gym consistently enough that it's basically a personality trait at this point. My friends and family are the reset button for everything else.
I am, in every sense, a person who exists outside of Figma.
