I'm Ruthvik,

I’m originally from Bangalore and currently based in Seattle. I’m a second-year master’s student in Human Centered Design and Engineering at the University of Washington, and I currently work as a UX Consultant with Zero Motorcycles Inc. I have a background in computer science that has shaped how I approach problems and systems, while design keeps me curious and focused on asking better questions.

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

I’m interested in challenges where good design builds trust, enables confidence, and helps people move through complexity with focus and ease. I care about designing with respect for the context, the constraints, and the person on the other side.

My Experiences

From framing problems to delivery, I've worked across product and UX, helping create outcomes shaped by real constraints.
