Viktor Engborg · Design Lead at Function Health

Founding and lead product designer for consumer health apps.

I lead design for SuppCo, now part of Function Health. Before that I led design at Mindbloom and Levels, and was the first designer at Zero, Topology, and FitStar. I also build my own products, through my studio Dark Thirty Labs.

How I work

I still research, sketch in Figma, and test with people. What changed is where it ends: I now build what I design with AI coding agents, so I test real software, not mockups. I built this site too.

When you need your first designer

I’ve been the first designer three times: Zero, Topology, and FitStar. Zero’s CEO had worked with me at FitStar and brought me in. At Zero, design grew from me to five people.

Building Zero

When you need a design lead on an existing team

I’ve built design systems at Zero and Levels. At Levels, I was the only designer for the whole company, working directly with the CEO.

Running design alone at Levels

When your product is hard to explain

Health data is easy to show and hard to act on. I design the view that makes it usable: SuppCo’s TrustScore, the Levels glucose ring, Zero’s fasting zones.

Making glucose data readable

When you need to ship

I take a design all the way to working software. At Mindbloom, three of us shipped two AI flows in eight weeks. I built Movable on my own.

Side projects

Quiet Marks

A logo studio: founders sketch with a machine for an hour, then I finish the mark.

The service, the site, the sketch engine, and the finish on every mark.

About me

I grew up in Sweden and started out in digital agencies there. Since then, I’ve mostly worked on early product teams, often as the first designer. Health keeps pulling me back: when Zero came up, I had just started fasting myself.

My wife and I also run House Of, three vacation homes in California, and we’re turning an 1894 Victorian into a small hotel. Running a business keeps me close to what happens after launch.

The best design decisions happen while building, not before.
