Nune Vardanyan
AI-first designer, building production-ready applications with
Claude Code.
I work at the intersection of users, business, product logic, and AI systems, translating between all four.
About
AI-first is not a buzzword for me, it's how I operate. My day starts with Claude Code: I open it before anything else, check my repo, review uncommitted changes, and push to GitLab before a single Figma file is open.
Claude is how I think through problems, prompt components into existence, iterate in the browser, and ship features in hours, not weeks.
My niche is cybersecurity, which is going through a fundamental AI transformation. I'm building at the center of that shift, embedded with engineering, shipping alongside them.

Recommendations
"I hired Nune in 2017, and it was immediately clear that she had the right sense of customer empathy and an eye for design. Over the four years we got to work together at Napkyn/Babbage, she developed strong formal skills to back up these innate abilities, both in understanding the needs and mindset of customers and in designing experiences that meet them while looking great. I would hire her again today if given the chance."
