About · Vikas Mittapalli

A senior product designer who treats interfaces as conversations.

I'm Vikas - a Senior Product Designer based in Hyderabad with six years of experience designing complex B2B, healthcare, and logistics products.

I'm currently at Qwipo, where I lead end-to-end design for seller and logistics applications: onboarding, inventory, pricing systems - the kind of workflows where every extra click costs a real business real money. Before this, two years at Achala IT Solutions designing 40+ healthcare applications for AIG, KIMS, Kamineni, Continental, Nephroplus, and Aster - work governed by ABHA and WCAG compliance, where getting design wrong has consequences beyond bounce rate.

I didn't start in product design. I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Animation from JNAFAU, and my first job was as a 2D animator on a Cartoon Network series at Cosmos Maya. That origin still shapes how I work: I treat interfaces as sequences, I care about timing, and I believe the space between two states is where a product earns its personality.

What I care about now: design systems that scale past their first release, research that reaches the engineers who build the thing, and the slow, unfashionable work of making business software feel humane.

Outside of work - long travel, photography, cooking, and mural painting.

How I work

Three things I keep coming back to.

  • 01

    Systems over screens.

    Every component, token, and flow earns its place by how well it scales past its first release.

  • 02

    Research reaches engineering.

    The story of why something matters travels to the people who build it, or the design didn't do its job.

  • 03

    Business software deserves humanity.

    Enterprise tools take up most of people's working lives. That's reason enough to make them feel good.
