Hello, I'm Yash
I design interfaces that hold up
Nice to meet you
I'm your design × business hybrid: UI/UX designer with a BBA in Design Strategy & Management, comfortable building with AI and a little code of my own. I spend more time on empty states and edge cases than on hero shots — that's usually where a product actually falls apart.

Ambiguous, half-defined problems are the ones I get handed most — a brief that reads like three different features stitched together. I run the research, push back on scope where it doesn't hold up, and stay involved through implementation instead of handing off a file and moving on.
The details most people skip are the ones I notice first: empty states, error copy, what a form does when someone tabs through it instead of clicking. That's usually where a product feels careless, or doesn't.

How I work
How I actually work, not the slide-deck version.
01
Start with the problem
I read the brief twice before opening Figma, and I ask why it matters to the business, not only the user — those two answers aren't always the same.
02
Design in the open
Critique and iteration happen with engineering and product already in the room. A "finished" file presented as a surprise just means the surprise happens later, mid-sprint.
03
Ship, then sharpen
A v1 that's 90% right and live beats a perfect mockup nobody's used yet. I'd rather find out what's wrong from real usage than keep guessing in Figma.
