About Vishnu Anantha
I design digital products that turn complex workflows into clear, reliable experiences.At UltiMaker, I lead design for a cloud platform that takes work from first sketch to finished print—serving K-12 classrooms and manufacturing teams, scaling from a single desk to entire organizations. I partner closely with engineering, ground decisions in research, and build design systems that hold up across brands and codebases.I came up through industrial design, obsessing over the moments people touch machines: loading filament, swapping tools, clearing jams. As more of the experience moved onscreen, I followed—taking a hands-on software role to build the surfaces where the work happens. These days that includes prototyping with AI—I use Claude and Cursor daily to move faster from idea to working UI.
