AboutOpen to senior roles

Hello, I’m Anirudh. I’m a Senior Product Designer who likes making complicated things easier to understand.

Over the past 7+ years I’ve worked across enterprise SaaS, fintech, AI, marketplaces and consumer products — moving between research, workflows, interaction design, design systems and the details that make something ready to ship.

01 — The longer version

At work

I originally trained in architecture, which probably explains why I naturally think in structures, relationships and systems. Product design became another way of doing the same thing — understanding how many interconnected pieces can come together and still feel simple.

Lately I’ve been getting closer to the building side of design, using AI, prototyping and code to explore ideas and turn them into working products faster. I still care about the same things though: good questions, clear hierarchy, thoughtful details, and products that need less explaining.

Outside the screen I’m usually around music. I sing, play guitar, perform, and occasionally build things for musicians when existing tools annoy me enough.

02 — How I work

From messy to obvious.

01

Listen

Interviews, data and the people closest to the problem. Research first, pixels second.

02

Map

The whole journey before a single screen — roles, states and every “what happens if?”.

03

Build small

Atomic design: tokens → atoms → molecules → organisms → pages. Decisions that scale.

04

Prototype

Real interactions, tested early with users and engineers, so I’m wrong cheaply.

05

Ship & learn

Launch, measure, refine. Clarity beats cleverness, every time.

03 — Off the screen

Usually around music.

I sing, play guitar and perform — and sometimes build tools for musicians when the existing ones annoy me enough.

Still learning. Still building. Always up for good work.
