UI / UX design, end to end.
From the first whiteboard sketch to a developer-ready Figma file — I own the design work like an in-house designer would. SaaS, fintech and mobile teams, one source of truth.

The engagement
I work as an embedded product designer on SaaS, fintech and mobile products. One person, one source of truth — flows, wireframes, interface design, prototypes, and the long Slack threads in between.
You get a designer who shows up in your standups, pushes back on scope, and ships every week — not a vendor lobbing files over a wall.
What you get
- User flows & information architecture
- Low-fi wireframes & interaction logic
- High-fidelity UI in Figma
- Interactive prototypes
- Responsive web + mobile screens
- Design system / component library
- Developer-ready handoff & QA
- Post-launch iteration
Capabilities
Everything between the brief and the build.
Discovery & UX strategy
Kickoff sessions, user goals, JTBD and the smallest map of screens that ships the value.
Flows & wireframes
Lock the logic before the pixels — happy path, edge cases, empty and error states.
Interface design
Calm, sharp, brand-aware UI built on a real grid with real type — not Dribbble bait.
Responsive & mobile
Web, tablet and native mobile. Designed for thumbs, dense data, and slow networks alike.
Design systems
Tokens, components and Figma libraries your engineers will actually want to use.
Prototypes & motion
Clickable Figma prototypes and motion specs so stakeholders feel the product, not the deck.
How I work
Four steps. No theatre.
Understand
Kickoff, product walkthrough, user and business goals — what does shipping well actually look like for you?
Shape
Flows and wireframes that lock the logic before we get into pixels. Quick async reviews, not week-long workshops.
Design
High-fidelity UI in Figma, built on your design system (or one we set up together) with real states and edge cases.
Ship
Prototype, hand off to engineering, stay on call through the build, and iterate after release based on real usage.
Principles
The way the work feels.
I don't have a manifesto. I have three habits the work keeps coming back to.
Tools I live in
Calm by default
If a screen feels loud, it's hiding a decision the team hasn't made yet. I help you make it.
Designed for trust
Especially in fintech and healthcare — clear states, honest error messages, no dark patterns.
Built with engineers
I work in PRs, Figma threads and Linear — not behind a wall. Handoff is a habit, not an event.

Outcomes
What changes after we ship.
- ●A product that feels like one product, not five teams' worth of screens.
- ●Faster engineering handoff because edge cases are designed, not discovered in QA.
- ●Higher activation and retention from flows users can move through without thinking.
- ●A design partner you can ping on Slack — not a vendor you brief once a quarter.

Engagement models
Three ways to start.
Not sure which fits? Book a call and we'll figure it out in 20 minutes.
Sprint
2 weeks
A focused redesign of one flow or one screen — ideal when you need momentum, not a re-platform.
- 1 flow or 1 surface
- Wireframes + UI
- Prototype + handoff
Embedded
PopularMonthly retainer
I plug in as your design team — standups, roadmap, design, handoff, iteration. Most popular for SaaS / fintech.
- Full product design
- Roadmap + research
- Sync with engineering
Build-out
4–12 weeks
From zero to a ship-ready MVP or a full v2 redesign — flows, UI, system, prototype, handoff.
- Full IA + flows
- Design system
- Engineering handoff
FAQ
Questions clients ask.
Don't see yours? Email me — replies are fast and not from a template.
Do you work hourly or on a fixed scope?
Both. Most SaaS and fintech engagements run as monthly retainers; one-off flows and redesigns are usually fixed-scope.
Do you work with engineering directly?
Yes. I'm comfortable in pull requests, Figma comments, Linear, Jira, Notion — wherever the team already lives.
Will you use our existing design system?
Absolutely. If you have one, I extend it. If you don't, I'll build a lean one alongside the product so it pays for itself.
What timezone do you work in?
I'm in IST but overlap 4–6 hours daily with EU and US East Coast teams. Async by default, sync when it matters.
Can you also do research or audits?
Yes — see UX audit & research and UX consultancy. Many clients start with an audit and continue into design.
Got a product that deserves better screens?
Two project slots open for Q3. Book a free 20-minute call — we'll talk about your product, your team, and whether I'm the right fit.
