Senior🎓
Top SchoolVlad Malik is a senior product designer with 15 years of cross-sector experience building B2B and B2C products, currently shaping retail media advertising at Vantage from Toronto. As the founding designer at an award-winning insurtech startup he led 0–1 product design for a cyber insurance platform that helped transact tens of millions in premium and contributed to a 50× usage jump, culminating in an acquisition. He combines pragmatic, rapid-prototyping habits with deep domain research—from teaching himself statistics and inventing a planning calculator to designing WCAG training for a city division—so his work tightly connects customer jobs-to-be-done with measurable business outcomes. Comfortable with complex workflows in logistics, reinsurance, and public health, he also drives AI-enabled features like in-app assistants and quote bots to boost engagement. Collectedly, he blends analytic rigor, storytelling through UX, and a focus on decision-making and mental models to ship practical, award-winning solutions.
