Piyush Raj
@piyushraj1
UI/UX expert who blends creativity, strategy, and empathy to deliver scalable, user-focused digital products.
What I'm looking for
I’m Piyush, a Product/UI/UX Designer with over 5 years of experience designing products across AI, SaaS, HealthTech, and e-commerce. My career has focused on simplifying complex workflows and creating designs that balance user empathy with measurable business outcomes.
At GENIE AI, my work directly helped the company secure $400K in seed funding and laid the foundation for a $25M Series A. I led design on projects like the AI Chat Concierge and DocuGenie, developing design systems, refining onboarding flows, and driving engagement through gamified micro-interactions. I’ve also collaborated with Amazon on Project+, a people management platform, where my designs improved adoption and reduced reporting time by 40%.
Beyond startups, I’ve worked as a freelancer with companies like Tufa, delivering everything from website redesigns and ad-hoc design systems to onboarding flows and health dashboards that boosted user retention and engagement.
I enjoy collaborating closely with engineers, product managers, and stakeholders, mentoring junior designers, and building scalable design systems. My interests lie in blending AI with design, applying gamification where it adds value, and keeping accessibility and inclusivity at the heart of my work.
Outside of design, I play chess (rating 346 🎯), explore new design tools and AI plugins, and am always curious about how creativity and technology can solve real human problems.
