About

I design complex financial products that people don't need a manual to use. For the past 5+ years, I've worked across the full design spectrum, from early-stage freelance projects with Indian and global clients to owning an entire product vertical at a Series A fintech. At FYERS, I led the design of the investment vertical end-to-end: research, wireframes, high-fidelity design, and dev handoff shipping 0→1 products in one of the more cognitively demanding domains in consumer finance. Along the way, I also led the growth team, mentored junior designers, and shipped the Prime subscription product. I grew from UI designer to Senior UX designer in three years, not by moving fast and breaking things, but by staying close to the problem. I hold an NISM certification, which means I actually understand what I'm designing when it comes to equity, derivatives, and investment flows. That context changes the quality of the work. Before FYERS, I spent time doing redesign work for B2B and D2C clients across India and globally, which is where I built the habit of working with ambiguity and shipping without a large team behind me. That background still shapes how I work: I collaborate well, move with structure, and don't need hand-holding to go from a vague brief to a shipped product. I'm currently exploring senior product design roles at remote-first companies (not limited to), ideally where design research and 0→1 product thinking are genuinely valued, not just listed in a job description. If you're building something in fintech, SaaS, or a complex domain that needs a designer who can hold the full picture, I'd like to hear about it. DM me here or reach me at [your email].
