Product Designer & Design Engineer | Design systems, tokens & motion | I ship my own designs in code — Figma → React, GSAP

About

I have a computer science degree and no design degree. That sounds like a gap until you watch me work — I've never had to ask whether an idea is buildable, because that question was never separate from the idea. I'm a product designer who ships her own work. Figma variables mapped to real code tokens. Motion built in GSAP and Motion.js rather than faked in a prototype. Design reviews done in dev tools instead of annotated screenshots. Some of what that's looked like: → Packr — a complete mobile design system: two themes, an eight-step type scale, 17 screens, a 22-component library, accessibility handled at the token level. → Pockit — a 300+ variable token architecture, with Figma variables mapped to TypeScript constants so design and code stop drifting apart. → An operations CMS — reconstructed an undocumented workflow from 50,000+ legacy transactions, then scored every module in a written Red/Amber/Green parity matrix before redesigning a single screen. → Banana Club — a 14-screen storefront redesign, built in three days and published unsolicited. It got me a client. Two opinions I'll defend. Defaults aren't decisions — I can usually guess which AI generated a site from its palette. And most award-winning sites are far too long; scroll-driven animation made length feel free, and scrolling is still work. Freelance now, open to full-time product design and design engineering roles — Bengaluru, Mumbai, Pune, Hyderabad, and the right role anywhere. sumaiyya.in · smahinn1@gmail.com

Product Designer at Independent, Aug 2025 - Present · 1 y 1 mo, India, Designing and shipping products end-to-end for mobile and web clients — Figma systems through to front-end. • Reconstructed a gas-cylinder company's undocumented workflow from 50,000+ legacy transactions as primary research; scored every module in a written Red/Amber/Green parity matrix with acceptance tests, prioritising behavioural parity for operators over visual novelty. • Authored Packr's complete mobile design system — two themes, eight-step type scale, token-level accessibility, 17 screens, a 22-component library — and made the cold-start and interaction calls that make the product usable in its first five minutes. • Designed TrackitAll, a 17-surface tracker, around progressive disclosure and a deliberately designed missed-day recovery path so the interface never punishes. • Applied fixed client brand identities across bilingual and consumer sites, using GSAP / anime.js motion to guide attention rather than decorate. • Designed a 5-screen onboarding flow in Figma for Pockit Engineers, an IT-technician booking app on Google Play, focused on getting new users to first value faster.

Interaction Designer at Inficom Solutions Private Limited, Dec 2024 - May 2025 · 5 mo, Aurangabad, Maharashtra, India, Designed and implemented 5+ core UI screens (main menu, HUD, store, settings, instructions) for an Android drone game in Unity, ensuring visual consistency and intuitive navigation across all panels. Built a mobile-first UI system using Figma wireframes and Unity UI Toolkit, with layout groups, anchors, and dynamic scaling to support compatibility across all target screen sizes and resolutions. Enhanced player experience by integrating UI animations and contextual audio cues, increasing feedback responsiveness and contributing to a more polished, production-ready game interface.
