Work Experience Ventures Let's Talk
Product Designer

Hi, I'm Shashank Kumar.
I design products that ship, scale, and stand on strong product fundamentals.

For 5+ years, I've led design across fintech and consumer products, transforming complex credit, compliance, and behavioral flows into scalable systems that drive trust and growth.

My Approach

I don't just push pixels.
I solve business problems.

I operate at the intersection of product strategy and hands-on execution. Whether it's defining an MVP scope with the CEO, building a design system from scratch, or running A/B tests to validate assumptions. I own the outcome, not just the output.

01

Research-led, outcome-driven

Every design decision is backed by user research, competitive analysis, and business context. I don't design in a vacuum.

02

Systems over screens

I build scalable design systems and component libraries that reduce dev handoff friction and maintain consistency at scale.

03

Ship, measure, iterate

I integrate user feedback loops, A/B testing, and analytics into sprint cycles for evidence-based iteration.

Beyond Design

Let's build something
worth shipping.

I'm currently exploring Senior / Lead Product Designer roles at Series A–D startups and MNCs. If you're building something complex and need someone who can own the design end-to-end, let's talk.
