Hello, I'm Yash.
/yash · guhn-wahnt/
I'm a Senior UI/UX Designer who thrives on turning ambiguous, gnarly problems into interfaces that are simple to use and easy to build. I care as much about structure and clarity as I do about craft — a strong opinion, held loosely, and refined through research and iteration.
What I bring to a team.
Structure in ambiguity
I have a knack for adding clarity and structure to ambiguous problems and environments — making confusing situations easier for everyone to navigate.
Research-backed decisions
I ground design choices in real user behavior instead of guesses, and I'm comfortable running the research myself when there's no one else to do it.
Rapid prototyping
I move from sketch to testable prototype quickly, so ideas get validated with real users before a single line of production code is written.
Design ↔ development
I'm comfortable enough in the codebase to prototype in-browser and speak the same language as engineering, which keeps handoff honest.
