Behind every dense dashboard is a person who has to act on it — under time pressure, with too much on screen. An operator clearing failed deliveries. A merchant choosing a carrier. A buyer weighing an offer.

Complex tools don't fail because they lack features. They fail when that person can't tell what to do next. I design the clarity that closes the gap — turning data-heavy screens into decisions people trust when the stakes are high.

And when AI makes the call, I design the reason to believe it.

About

I started out as a graphic designer — but I quickly realised I was only working on one piece. I wanted the whole picture.

So I kept learning the next layer. From graphics to web design, where my visual background carried over. Then frontend development — because I saw that good design only matters when it can actually be built and handed off cleanly. After three years of writing code, I started to understand products — not just screens, but the full experience and the decisions behind it.

That's when I became a product designer. And as I went deeper, the business lens came in too — KPIs, metrics, and the tradeoffs behind every product decision.

Today, when I make a design decision, I can see it from four sides: what to build, how it's built, what's right for the user, and what the business needs. That's why I can make data-heavy, high-stakes decisions clear and trustworthy — because I spent 13 years learning every angle that makes a decision whole.

Design + build

I prototype in code — HTML, CSS, JavaScript. So what I hand off is developer-ready, and my design decisions account for what's actually buildable. This site itself — designed and hand-coded end to end, no template, no builder — is the proof.

AI in my workflow

Claude for UX specs, Figma Make for rapid prototyping, Figma MCP for token automation — AI as a design multiplier, not a buzzword.

Also fluent in Figma, ProtoPie, Adobe CS, Jira, Notion, Miro — the everyday toolkit.

Outside work, I like exploring new places and digging into their history — probably the same curiosity I bring to my work. Meditation and workshops keep me grounded and learning.

How I work

Not a process diagram. A way of deciding.

Three things shape how I move a data-heavy product from ambiguous to shippable — and they're the reason my work holds up under pressure.

01

Find the problem behind the problem

The brief is rarely the real issue. Before I design a screen, I find the decision the user is actually stuck on — then design backward from that moment, not from the feature request.

02

Design it so it can actually be built

I prototype in code — HTML, CSS, JavaScript — so what I hand off is developer-ready and my decisions account for what's buildable. Design and engineering stop being two separate conversations.

03

Use AI as a multiplier, not a shortcut

Claude for UX specs and edge-case thinking, Figma Make for rapid prototyping, Figma MCP for token automation. AI compresses the busywork so I spend judgment where it matters — the decision, not the pixels.

The through-line: I can see a decision from four sides — what to build, how it's built, what's right for the user, and what the business needs. That's what makes data-heavy calls clear and trustworthy.

In their words

What people I've worked with say.

Unedited LinkedIn recommendations — managers, engineers, and peers I've shipped with.

I had the pleasure of working with Ankur at PrivateDeal, and I highly recommend him as a UX designer:

Incredibly easy to work with: collaborative, open-minded, and communicative

Highly reactive: quick to respond and adapt to feedback or changes

Strong design sense: consistently delivered clean, user-friendly, and effective interfaces

Reliable and professional: always met deadlines and took initiative when needed

Thank you, Ankur, for your great work and positive energy throughout our time together!

Matthieu Mauguin · PrivateDeal  ·  managed me directly

I managed Ankur at E2E Research, where he led UI/UX design across two of our products — Inscribee, our e-signature and document-routing platform, and Raven, our survey-analytics dashboard suite.

What set Ankur apart was his ability to take genuinely complex, data-dense problems — multi-party signing flows, crosstab and statistical dashboards — and turn them into interfaces that felt simple to use. He paired strong design instincts with real frontend ability, so his handoffs were clean and his prototypes were always grounded in what could actually be built.

He was a reliable, humble professional who consistently took end-to-end ownership of his work. He partnered closely with engineering, communicated effectively across teams, and continually raised the quality of the products we shipped.

Any team building complex B2B or data-intensive products would be fortunate to have him. I recommend him without hesitation.

Niraj Upadhyay · AVP Technology, E2E Research Services  ·  managed me directly

I've worked with Ankur at Shipway. What I've noticed with him is he doesn't just design screens — he designs solutions that actually move numbers.

The Pricing module is a good example. It's one of the most complex and crucial modules we have, and honestly not an easy thing to get right. He delivered it in a way that shows pricing transparency upfront to the user, which sounds simple but isn't when you're dealing with that much complexity underneath.

And it's not just one thing — Quick Courier Assign, the Wallet Recharge Recommendation flow, the Reports Scheduler — these all carry his thinking. As a PM, what I've valued most is how much he thinks through edge cases before it even reaches development or testing.

He's someone I'd genuinely recommend if you're looking for a designer who thinks beyond the screen.

Vikas Kumar · Senior Product Manager, Shipway Technology  ·  cross-functional partner
I have worked with Ankur for some major clients and that's when I noticed his brilliant and exemplary skills. His patience, dedication and out of box thinking made him stand out. In the following years he went on to became a good leader and shaped his team meticulously which made them probably one of the best team to work with. My best wishes to this wonderful colleague.
