@vibhapolkam
Senior product designer humanizing generative AI workflows into delightful, scalable user experiences.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Product Designer who architected UI/UX for Magic Studio and InstaHeadshots, scaling to 100,000+ global users by humanizing complex AI workflows. I’ve been designing for 6.5+ years and focus on turning advanced capabilities into experiences people instantly understand.
I spearheaded the Creator Flow for AI headshots—optimizing the selfie-to-portrait pipeline to deliver 200 HD images in under 15 minutes. I also developed a scalable cross-platform design system in Figma, reducing engineering handoff friction and accelerating feature release cycles by 30%.
I’m data-driven: I optimized conversion funnels through iterative A/B testing and user research, achieving a 4.8-star user satisfaction rating on TrustPilot. Earlier, at OYO (Weddingz.in), I standardized visual identity for an internal CMS and the Wedcraze app, mentored a team of 3 junior designers, and supported 0-1 product operations across 300+ venues nationwide.
