NICO VAN ZYL

Head of Product Design at Altostrat

Design engineer taking products from first idea to final detail, with the systems thinking and technical depth to ship.

Currently Altostrat’s founding designer, where I’m building multiplayer agents and shaping how people and agents work together. Previously, I co-founded Owners Circle and led product design and design systems at Simvida, Imagemakers and Stream.

Outside work, I love metal music, classic games, mountain biking, nature, beautiful drives and having fun with my wife and our son.
