@jigishavakil
I design scalable B2B platforms, design systems, and complex enterprise workflows.
What I'm looking for
I've led end-to-end UX for Zoro UK, a 4.7M-product B2B eCommerce platform, across search, discovery, basket, checkout, and mobile-first experiences. My research-backed redesign lifted mobile conversion by 20%+ and reduced support tickets by 35%.
I architected Zoro's two-layer token design system with 50+ components, improving delivery speed by 40%. I also redesigned ZOMS, built buyer personas that shaped roadmap and GTM strategy, and facilitated stakeholder workshops that reduced rework by about 30%.
As a consultant, I've taken cloud infrastructure, healthcare SaaS, and medical edtech products from 0 to 1. My work has reduced Medicare enrolment errors by 40%, improved clinical documentation time by 35%, and helped grow a medical education platform from 500 to 2,000+ active users in six months.
I bring a background in UI design, digital art direction, research, systems thinking, and product strategy, with experience mentoring designers and partnering closely with Product, Engineering, Marketing, and business stakeholders.
