About

Dr. Erik Miller

Design

Interaction Designer · Business Designer

5 yrs experience

I started in design—human-centered from day one. At Fjord, I worked across the full arc: research and concept, high-fidelity UI, design ops, and shipping design systems at scale. That foundation in how people think, feel, and use things became the lens for everything that followed.

Product

Sr. Product Manager · Founder/CEO

6 yrs experience

Design thinking naturally evolved into product leadership. At Porsche Digital, I applied that lens to Customer Portfolio Strategy—leading research, building roadmaps, and taking products from concept to market. I went on to found DesignCar, a Porsche Digital spinout, raising funding and leading 15+ to ship at scale. At Mozaic and beyond, I kept pushing into AI-powered product—always balancing speed, quality, and outcomes.

Engineering

AI Product Engineer · AI Software Engineer

4 yrs experience

Eventually, I wanted to build the things I’d been designing and managing. At Lululemon, I shipped features on the main iOS shopping app—used by 3M+ people a month and driving over $1B in revenue—and helped lead the Flow design system in Figma and SwiftUI. At Vercept, I architected and built Vy—a macOS app turned Electron, with React, Node, and LLM integration. At Underdog Innovation, I built native AI products from concept through App Store launch.
