Product Management Fellow @ NextLeap | Aspiring UX/UI Designer | Engineering Graduate | User-Centric Digital Experiences

About

Hi, I’m Bishal Patra — a Computer Science graduate with a background in UX/UI design and an interest in Product Management. I started out with front-end development, but over time I realized I was more interested in understanding why products are built the way they are and how people actually use them, rather than only focusing on code. That curiosity pulled me into UX/UI design, where I learned to think from the user’s point of view and design with empathy. As I gained more hands-on experience in design, I became curious about the bigger picture—how problems are defined, how user needs connect with business goals, and how product decisions are made. This naturally led me to explore Product Management. I’m currently building these skills through a Product Management Fellowship at NextLeap, where I’m learning how to apply user-centered thinking to real product decisions. My skills include user research, wireframing, prototyping, usability testing, and visual design using tools like Figma. I enjoy working where design, technology, and product thinking come together to create simple, useful, and meaningful experiences. I’m excited to keep learning, collaborate with others, and contribute to products that people genuinely enjoy using.
