I STARTED AS A VISUAL DESIGNER AND ILLUSTRATOR, MOVED INTO UX, AND FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS I’VE BEEN USING FRAMER TO BUILD WHAT I USED ONLY TO DESIGN. THAT ORDER SHAPES HOW I WORK: I CARE WHETHER SOMETHING MAKES SENSE, WHETHER IT LOOKS CONSIDERED, AND WHETHER IT ACTUALLY SHIPS. RIGHT NOW, THAT MEANS AI-ASSISTED WORKFLOWS AND FRONTEND TOOLS; THE GAP BETWEEN MY DESIGN FILE AND THE LIVE PRODUCT KEEPS SHRINKING.

I'm looking for

A Junior UX or Product design role where I can own a flow end to end, from research through to shipped screens, working closely with engineers, PMs and other designers. I can carry the visual design when a team needs it.

TRD Design Studio

Internship

Visual Designer & UX Researcher

December 2024 - March 2025

Ran stakeholder and user research with travellers aged 14–32 to rebuild a stalled brand's product direction, translating findings into hard design constraints: a ₹600 price ceiling tied to a 10 to 20-wear expected lifespan, and 8/10 preference for back placement.

Resolved a direct conflict between user demand for rich, multi-color illustration and a budget that couldn't support it; benchmarked three print methods and specified DTF, whose flat per-unit cost and zero minimum order made a 5-design × 100-unit run viable where screen printing wasn't.

Negotiated blanks, print and hangtags directly with suppliers, cutting landed cost to ₹380 and holding retail at ₹484 with ~₹100 margin per unit.

Converted the cost model into the design brief by locking print area first (A3 back / A5 front), then narrowed 30+ concepts to 5 final illustrations composed to fill the frame edge to edge.

Delivered hang tags with universal product codes, mobile UI concepts for the brand's move into digital retail, and art-directed the launch photoshoot for all 5 designs.

At last a few words from my brain 🧠

He never stops thinking about what to do next. First, he designed; then he decided that wasn't enough, so now he's learning coding too. Honestly, I'm getting tired in here. But he travels a lot, so I get my breaks. Fair deal, I guess.When his hands are free, he makes things. Pottery, crafts, and his beloved 1/64 scale cars collection. Ask him about those and his eyes light up.The best part? He's very kind. He talks to random people everywhere, like the shyness I used to carry just disappeared. Oh, and he takes surprisingly good photos too. Lately I keep hearing German words in here. In the beginning he answered 'Ja' to everything, and I laughed so hard we both lost focus. But I'll admit it. He's getting really good.
