About

A designer who cares about the quiet details most teams overlook.

I design calm, considered interfaces — the kind you don’t have to think about.

UI/UX designer with 3.5 years of experience designing user-friendly digital products across fintech, e-commerce, and lifestyle domains. Based in Mumbai, I translate complex ideas into clean, functional interfaces — focused on user empathy, responsive design, and collaborative problem-solving. Outside of work, you'll find me playing football or diving into video games.

How it unfolded

Problem → Process → Solution. A calm sequence, not a deliverable checklist.

Problem

Crypto is locked behind complexity.

Most crypto platforms today are overloaded with complex charts, jargon, and advanced tools. While this caters to professionals, it alienates beginners — who feel overwhelmed placing their first trade, struggle to understand risks due to lack of context, and abandon apps quickly due to poor onboarding. The result: high drop-off, abandoned accounts, and a lasting lack of trust.

Process

A persona, a journey, and a lean prototype.

I analyzed beginner pain points and framed a primary persona — Akshay, 26, a junior developer comfortable with Paytm, Zerodha, and PhonePe but new to crypto. Mapped his journey end-to-end: splash, KYC, home, futures, and a dedicated Learn tab. Validated the skeleton through low-to-mid-fidelity wireframes and an interactive prototype focused on navigation and flow.

Solution

Simple onboarding, calm trading, built-in learning.

A clean glassmorphism UI in dark mode with neon blue accents, clean typography, and minimal charts. A trade screen with a Low / Medium / High risk meter, a simplified onboarding flow, and a built-in Learn tab with a glossary and gamified modules — so beginners build confidence before they commit. Density is earned, not assumed.
