01 / Product Design

I turn complex problems into simple products.

I combine product design, UX research and interaction design to turn ambiguous problems into structured, usable experiences, the same instinct that took me from Digital Marketing into UX.

02 / How I Think

How I think

Understand before solving

Before I open Figma, I want to know who's struggling and why. Jumping to a screen too early just designs around the wrong problem.

Find the real problem

The brief is rarely the real problem. I dig until I find what's actually causing the friction, that's usually where the useful work starts.

Make complexity visible

Most systems are more tangled than they look. I map them out until the complexity is visible, that's what makes it possible to simplify.

Explore before committing

My first idea is rarely my best one. I push through a few directions before committing, so the solution is chosen, not just accepted.

Validate through evidence

I'd rather be wrong in a test than wrong in production. Research and feedback are how I check my own assumptions before they ship.

03 / Evidence

Real problems. Thoughtful solutions.

A selection of case studies that show how I approach, solve and design for real-world challenges.

Self-service healthcare kiosks that put essential OTC products where people already are, not only where pharmacies are.

04 / Philosophy

The interface is only the surface.
The real design is everything underneath.

05 / Capabilities

What I bring to
a product team.

A mix of research, design and systems thinking that helps turn complex problems into usable, scalable products.

Product Thinking

Frame the problem. Connect the dots. Shape the product.

UX Research

Ask better questions. Find the patterns. Test the assumptions.

Interaction Design

Map the journey. Shape the interaction. Make it tangible.

UI & Systems

Create hierarchy. Build consistency. Design for scale.

Collaboration

Align the team. Document the thinking. Move from idea to build.

06 / Experience

A journey shaped by curiosity, design and real-world problems.

07 / About

Curious by nature. Designer by choice.

I'm Sumeet, a Product Designer with an M.Des in User Experience Design, where I graduated as a University Topper and Gold Medalist.

I started in Digital Marketing, learning how people respond to messages, offers and flows. That curiosity about behaviour pulled me toward UX, understanding not just what people click, but why. Today I combine that research instinct with systems thinking and business context to design products that are easier to understand, use and scale.

Outside design, you'll usually find me drawing, exploring new ideas, watching Pokémon or a good web series, or simply talking to people and learning how they think.

Things that influence how I design

People

Understanding why people behave the way they do.

Systems

Understanding how small decisions affect larger experiences.

Curiosity

Questioning assumptions before accepting them.

Drawing

Using sketches to explore ideas before opening Figma.

08 / Beyond Design

More than just a designer.

I'm someone who enjoys making things, understanding people, and exploring ideas. I love a good conversation, a creative challenge, and discovering something I didn't know yesterday.

Usually mid-conversation.

Creative by nature.
Curious by default.

Interests

Things that make me, me.

The world outside my desk

Not everything happens on a screen.

New places, different perspectives, good conversations and little moments worth remembering. There's always something interesting to discover.

A curious mind never logs off.

Let's build something people actually understand.
