I'm Ruthvik,

I’m originally from Bangalore, now based in Seattle, and somewhere along the way I went from learning how to build things to caring deeply about how they work for people. My background in computer science still shapes how I think. I tend to look for structure, patterns, and the logic underneath a problem. Design is what pushed me to ask better questions and pay closer attention to people, context, and the small details that change how something feels.

I’m currently a second-year master’s student in Human Centered Design and Engineering at the University of Washington, and I work as a UX Consultant with Zero Motorcycles. I’m drawn to products that have a bit of weight to them, where trust matters, the workflows are complex, and good design can make the experience feel clearer, more usable, and easier to adopt.

Outside of work, I enjoy soccer, lifting, poker, and good coffee. They help me stay grounded and present.
