## About

Siddharth Gautam is a Product Designer based in Bengaluru, at the intersection of data\-driven logic and human\-centered design\. His career path has been anything but linear — and that's exactly what makes his perspective sharp\. He spent his early professional years in analytical and engineering roles at Probo and Flocard, where he built real fluency in data architecture, systems thinking, and product collaboration\. These experiences gave him something most designers don't have: a deep understanding of how products work under the hood, not just on the surface\. After being laid off in late 2024, Siddharth made a deliberate pivot\. He spent the first half of 2025 in a self\-directed transition — completing the Google UX Design Professional Certificate, going through the 10k Designers upskilling program, and building a design practice from the ground up\. Not a shortcut\. A foundation\. He's now a Creative Design Intern at Airlearn — a Unacademy\-backed language learning app with 70,000\+ daily active users and a 4\.8\-star App Store rating — where he designs multilingual learning experiences for a global audience across 12 languages\. His design approach is grounded in the belief that the most personal work is the most creative — and that great UX isn't just aesthetic, it's functional all the way through\.
