Hi there!
I’m Pavithra, an Experience Designer with an engineering and business background, focused on creating intuitive, accessible, and human-centered product experiences that feel effortless to use.

About Me
I am a designer who believes that great experiences begin with empathy and clear intention. I value intuitiveness because it gives confidence to the users and makes products feel approachable and easy to engage with. My journey into UX began as a user when a thoughtful redesign transformed a familiar tool and changed how I understood design, motivating me to learn its underlying principles. With a background in engineering, business, and design, I bring a well-rounded perspective that balances user needs, technical feasibility, and product goals. I am detail-oriented, structured, and naturally curious, with a strong desire to grow as a leader through collaboration, reflection, and continuous learning. Outside work, you’ll find me photographing sunsets, a daily reminder that simplicity can still be powerful.
​
My design philosophy
-
I start with evidence—user research, data, and domain-expert insights to shape the solution
-
I distill dense requirements into clear, humane paths that respect both business and user needs.
-
I speak “designer” and “developer,” turning hand-offs into co-creation.
-
I value accessibility and craft; small details build lasting trust.
-
I believe great products emerge from open, cross-functional collaboration—not siloed work.
