Mykolas Vaitiekunas Product designer

I combine empathy, attention to detail and data driven design to craft useful and delightful products

About

I'm a product designer with a focus on creating intuitive, user-centered digital experiences that balance business goals with human needs. With a background spanning UX, UI, and visual design, I enjoy solving complex problems through research, iteration, and thoughtful interaction design.

Over the years, I've worked on a range of projects—from improving onboarding flows to designing complete mobile and web applications—always aiming to make technology feel more seamless and meaningful. I'm passionate about clarity, simplicity, and the small design details that make a product feel just right.

As a designer

As a designer I'm drawn to work that feels handmade — editorial layouts, calligraphy, the bold typography of old car magazines. I try to bring that same tactile, printed quality into digital products without sacrificing clarity.

I believe the best interfaces disappear: they give people confidence, not friction. Every project starts with understanding the person on the other side of the screen.
