My Design Process
My Design Process
I design digital products that are easy to use, good to look at, and built around what users actually need.

Understanding your goals and your users
Understanding your goals and your users
Before anything is designed, I talk to you and your stakeholders to get a clear picture of the business problem, what success looks like, and who we're solving it for. This keeps the work focused from day one no wasted effort, no designing in the dark.

I speak directly with your users through interviews, surveys, or observation to understand what they're trying to do, where they get stuck, and what they actually need. I also look at what competitors are doing, so we know exactly what gap we're filling.

I plan out the user journeys, map the screens, and think through edge cases including how the design connects to your existing systems or APIs. This step saves a lot of back-and-forth later because the decisions are made on paper, not in development.

I start with simple wireframes and test them with real users early before any visual design work begins. Their feedback shapes what gets built. Once the structure holds up, I move into the full visual design and hand it off to developers with clear, detailed specs.

Launch is not the finish line. After the product goes live, I track how users
interact with it what's working, what's not, and where there's room to improve. Good design gets better over time, and the numbers tell you where to focus next.

“I remember karan being assigned one of the trickiest of products on his very first week. We were building an industry first mobile friendly channel manager “Sync”. Boy was I blown away by the design (I’m critical about design in general). Over the next 2 years, many of our other products saw multiple iterations. Sync however stood the test of time. This says a lot about his design thinking and user centricity. He’s bound to be a great asset to anyone :)”

“I've managed karan directly on multiple products. I've never had to worry about the functionality, user-centricity and the overall impact when he designed.We have built a channel manager, a content management system and many other products together. He has a legitimate idea about UI and UX. In our meetings, he used to be the advocate of "user-delight" and it was this advocacy that lead to some really robust products.”
