I’m Vlad Mendoza, but you probably knew that already.

For over a decade I’ve dedicated myself to the field of product design, with a particular focus on enterprise tools and AI. For me, merging powerful AI capabilities with user-friendly experiences is an exciting new frontier in product design. My journey began with a simple question:

How can we make work tools as intuitive as the consumer-facing products we use daily?

This curiosity has fueled my mission to improve the frustrating user experiences that often plague enterprise software.

Beyond my work, I am passionate about building and mentoring design teams. Developing talent and leading teams to build world-class products are responsibilities I take great pride in. I cannot express enough how fulfilling it has been to watch young talents blossom into seasoned professionals. Never underestimate the significance of leadership in shaping not just products but also the future leaders of our field.

My ultimate goal is to create products that surprise people each time they use them—to make their world just a little bit better than it was before they interacted with my work. I’m always open to exploring exciting ventures and collaborations. I’m here to challenge and be challenged.
