πŸ““About me

Hi, I’m Varun, and I specialize in helping financial and healthcare institutions simplify complex challenges through intuitive design solutions. How do I do that? Design thinking: Create seamless experiences that make both customers and employees love your core offerings. Intuitive interfaces: Develop user-friendly, human-centered designs that empower customers to meet their goals. Service blueprints: Map out touchpoints, backend processes, and customer interactions for a cohesive experience. Atomic design systems: Implement scalable design systems that streamline and accelerate product development. UX audits: Identify and resolve bottlenecks and accessibility issues to boost conversions. Why hire me? I can function as a one-person design team or coach your existing team to elevate their skills and processes. I’ll provide honest insights, even when it’s tough to hear, to ensure you make the best decisions. I bring deep expertise in design for financial services and healthcare industries. I’m well-versed in Agile, Scrum, Kanban, Waterfall, or a blend of methodologies. With over 150+ user interviews under my belt, I provide insights that drive critical decisions. I have 8+ years of UI, UX, and product design experience working with agencies, startups, and global enterprises. Ready to elevate your product? Feel free to connect with me or send a message!
