About me.
Designing Clarity in Complex Product Spaces.
I’m Kiran, a product designer working across strategy, UX, and execution. I help teams make sense of complex product problems and shape clear direction that holds up in real-world constraints.
My work sits close to early decisions, where clarity matters more than polish.
🧐 What I Do
I work on defining problems, shaping product direction, and designing solutions that balance user needs, business goals, and technical constraints.
I have over a decade of experience working on new products and complex existing systems, often in ambiguous or early-stage environments. I am comfortable owning problem spaces end-to-end, from discovery through execution.
With a background in front-end development, I work closely with engineers, understand technical tradeoffs, and design with implementation in mind.
☸️ How I Work
I value clarity, ownership, and thoughtful decision-making. I work best in environments where problems are openly explored, tradeoffs are discussed honestly, and design is treated as a thinking discipline, not just execution.
🎭 Beyond Design
Outside of work, I enjoy long runs, exploring new places, and practising mindfulness. I am interested in behavioural psychology, digital art, and food, and how they shape human behaviour and experience.
Standards I Work By
These principles guide how I approach problems, make decisions, and collaborate. They are not ideals I advertise, but standards I hold myself accountable to in my work.
Clarity Over Cleverness
I prioritise clear thinking over impressive solutions. If an idea cannot be explained simply and withstand scrutiny, it is not ready to move forward.
Thoughtful Collaboration
I value open dialogue and respectful challenge. The best work emerges when ideas are questioned honestly, without ego or forced agreement.
Judgment Before Execution
I focus on framing the right problem before designing solutions. Strong outcomes come from understanding constraints, tradeoffs, and what should be left undone.
Long-Term Thinking
I care about work that holds up over time. Sustainable pace, maintainability, and future impact matter more than short-term wins.
Ownership of Outcomes
I take responsibility for the decisions I help shape. Accountability applies equally to success, failure, and everything learned along the way.
Continuous Refinement
I believe good work is never static. I make space to reflect, learn, and improve, both in how products evolve and how I show up.
