About

I'm Omkar, a Product Designer (UX/UI) working across B2B fintech, SaaS, and AI-driven products. My path here wasn't linear: I started in Metallurgical Engineering (B.Tech, COEP), then moved into design through an M.Des at MIT Institute of Design — which is probably why I default to systems thinking before I open Figma. I want to understand the mechanism before I touch the interface. At Xflow Payments, I worked as a UX Designer on B2B cross-border payments — designing AI-assisted support flows, homepage personalization backed by analytics, a referral program, and an accounting integration with Zoho Books, inside a regulated, high-stakes payments environment where edge cases aren't rare, they're the job. At Homeville Consulting, I designed UI/UX for lending and real estate fintech products, breaking down dense financial and regulatory logic into flows a first-time user could follow without help. What I focus on: → End-to-end UX/UI design — research, wireframing, prototyping, interaction design → Complex B2B and fintech workflows: onboarding, KYC, lending, dashboards, cross-border payments → Designing for exceptions and edge cases, not just the ideal path → Design systems, information architecture, and usability testing → Working closely with PMs and engineers to ship, not just hand off Figma files → Tools: Figma, Figma Make, FigJam, Notion Outside of client work, I run a side project building a sentiment analyzer for Indian equities, and I compete in board games and improv comedy — both are exercises in the same skill design demands: read the constraints, think several moves ahead, build something coherent in real time. I'm currently looking for Product Designer / UX Designer / UI-UX Designer roles in B2B fintech, SaaS, or AI products — based in Mumbai, open to Pune, Bangalore, and Hyderabad. If that's a role you're hiring for, I'd love to talk — reach me at ohpatel11@gmail.com.
