I’m Vytas Gaizutis

I've spent years watching brilliant scientific minds struggle with software that should make their work easier, not harder. Clinicians are abandoning digital tools for paper charts. Researchers are avoiding analysis platforms because they're too complex. Patients often give up on health apps after their first use.

That's why I specialize in making complex health and life sciences software easy to use.

Why founders choose me

I understand both sides of the equation. As a four-time founding designer, I know the pressure you're under to move quickly and prove market fit. However, having worked across eight startups in technical domains, I also understand that healthcare software can't simply be "pretty" – it must function within complex workflows, adhere to regulatory requirements, and operate in high-stakes environments.

I've been where you are. I've helped startups navigate everything from pre-seed chaos to Series A scaling. I know what it's like when your runway is burning and you need design decisions that move the business forward.

My approach gets results. I focus on outcomes that matter to your business: reducing user onboarding time, increasing retention rates, creating prototypes that get funded, and designing interfaces that pass regulatory review on the first submission.
