Senior Product Designer crafting end-to-end web, mobile, and Smart TV experiences for startups.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Product Designer with 10+ years working inside startups, where I design, ship, and iterate on digital products across web, mobile, and Smart TV. I work directly with founders and engineering teams—keeping “no intermediary layer” between design and product decisions—so I can own the full design process from early discovery through handoff and QA. My work spans OTT streaming, telecom, fintech, and cybersecurity, and I’m comfortable making design decisions under real startup constraints.
I’ve contributed to products at different scales, including iReff (10M+ downloads) and Flixjini (2M+ monthly users), while maintaining shared interaction patterns and component documentation to speed up engineering handoffs. As the sole designer on Sardine Shield, I designed trust-first onboarding and new feature experiences for a live cybersecurity product, including white-label OTT deployment across 10+ partner products. I also use AI-assisted workflows in ideation and prototyping to accelerate exploration—so I can deliver production-ready UX faster and keep improving it with cross-functional partners.
