@keerthanar
I design accessible, AI-powered learning and enterprise experiences that simplify complex systems for global users.
What I'm looking for
At NatGeo Learning/Qubits, I design a STEM learning platform used by 300,000+ students and 4,500+ educators across 13 countries.
I helped earn the ISTE Seal by strengthening accessibility and collaborated with product, engineering, and leadership teams to support 30%–50% customer-base growth. I also integrated AI-driven report analytics and dashboard visualizations, contributing to 40% customer adoption growth in the US.
Previously, I designed LMS and enterprise experiences at Designerrs Academy, F1studioz, and as a freelance UX designer. My work includes reducing document-upload errors by 60% for Y-Axis and leading a three-designer team on a mobile app serving 50,000+ users.
I bring research, journey mapping, information architecture, and prototyping together to make complex products intuitive. As Bengaluru Chapter Lead for Climate Designers, I’m also building community and advancing more sustainable digital products and systems.
