Saurabh Kumar

Product Designer in Bangalore, India (He/His)

Introduction

Hello!
With more than 5 years of experience as a UI/UX designer, I’ve worked across multiple industries to deliver user-friendly products, including projects for Microsoft, Ernst & Young, Credit Suisse and Wipro. My empathetic and considerate approach helps me make design decisions that meet both user needs and business objectives, while fostering collaboration with product teams.

I’m passionate about learning human behaviour/decision making, crafting thoughtful solutions, and simplifying complexity. My strength lies in organising information, streamlining workflows, and developing smart/custom solutions for intricate problems. Complexity excites me. I enjoy developing smart solutions for intricate problems.

I see myself as a traveler, constantly planning to add more pins to my map. I’m also a decent cook, foodie, cinephile, reader, poet, and a sports enthusiast who can watch any sport and play a few.
