Design is a craft.
I treat it that way.

Hey, I'm Yash. I'm a product designer based in the UK. For over a decade I've helped early-stage startups find their first loyal users, and helped enterprises ship 01 interfaces.

The problem

There's a lot of design out there that looks great in a portfolio and falls apart the second a real person uses it. Nice hero shot, smooth animation, and then it breaks the moment real data and real edge cases show up.

 

I've spent the last decade on the other side of that. I've shipped for startups where the first hundred users decide if you make it, and for enterprises where one screen gets seen by millions on day one. Both taught me the same thing. Clarity beats clever, and the work that lasts is the work that holds up when things get messy.

 

That's the kind of design I do.

A bit about me

I design because I can't not.

My expertise is backed by a Master's in UX Design from the University of Brighton, where I learned to interrogate a problem before designing a solution. The interface is rarely the hard part. The real work lives underneath: what to remove, what to clarify, who the product is truly built for.

This past couple of years with the AI revolution sharpened how I work. I went deep on AI and built a real disciplined workflow around: prompt engineering, agentic tools, automation pipelines. Multiple projects shipped this way, faster than I ever could alone.

I've also mentored 70+ designers on Designlab, some of the most rewarding work I do. Teaching forces you to know why something works, not just that it does. And through all of it I keep landing on the same thing: interfaces that respect the people using them.

Probably not a fit if...

You want pixels moved without asking why.

The brief starts and ends with "make it pop."

Speed matters more to you than getting it right.

Feedback only travels in one direction.
