About

I’m a Product Designer who loves solving complex problems through simple, intuitive, and impactful design. Over the past 3 years, I’ve designed products across Fintech, SaaS, EdTech, and Document Management, bringing ideas to life from research to polished UI. Recently, I’ve been leveraging AI tools and workflows to make the design process faster, smarter, and more human-centered. I specialize in translating ideas into experiences that feel effortless. My expertise spans across Information Architecture, User Flows, Wireframing, UI Design, Prototyping, and Design Systems that scale with products. I conduct User Research and Usability Testing to validate and refine designs, ensuring they meet both user needs and business goals. I also use AI-powered tools like Lovable, Vercel V0, and Replit to explore concepts, test ideas quickly, and enhance collaboration with developers and product teams to ship meaningful outcomes. Some of my recent work includes designing Fyp, a modern UPI and payments app focused on simplifying transactions and improving engagement; Vyatth, an inventory and trading platform for precious metals that optimizes dashboards and order flows for precision and efficiency; an Protean eSign platform, where I redesigned the document signing and tracking experience for better completion rates; and Desklib, an EdTech platform where I integrated AI tools like AI Answer, AI Detector, and AI Paraphraser to make academic learning more interactive and personalized. Beyond client projects, I actively explore how AI can enhance design thinking and creativity. I’ve built Res-MaTchr, a bot that aligns designer resumes with job descriptions; Casey, a bot that helps designers find strong problem statements for their portfolios; and Case Sensei, an AI reviewer that provides feedback on UX case studies. I also experimented with AI-driven whiteboard tools that enable quick brainstorming and ideation with sticky-note interactions. I’m passionate about creating usable, accessible, and scalable design systems that bridge user needs with business objectives. I thrive in collaborative environments and enjoy designing products that help people work smarter, not harder. If you’re looking for a Product Designer who blends UX thinking, visual design, and AI-driven innovation, let’s connect.
