Vetted Product designer in the United Kingdom
As a design MVP with over 7+ years of experience, I've worked with industry giants like Microsoft, where I single-handedly built the Safety Trust Portal, and developed the UX for the Conversational AI platform, Sayint. My recent roles in large enterprises in financial services involved researching and building UX flows for applications used by millions of users worldwide. I collaborate closely with product owners from the initial stages of persona research and validation all the way to building MVPs and shipping intricate user flows. Currently based in London, I focus on two key ambitions driven by my passion for design: 1\. Helping founders, product owners, and design leads articulate their business value, proposition, or products through impactful and aesthetic design that enhances storytelling. 2\. Teaching aspiring designers how to take their first steps in UX with accelerated bootcamps or elevate their skills from web design to core UX with my advanced program. With a Master’s Degree in User Experience Design from the University of Brighton, I have honed my skills in user research, analytical design thinking, accessibility, and interaction design. At SHL, I excel as a Senior UX Designer, and as a UX/UI Design Mentor at Designlab, I share my expertise in creating impactful user experiences. My approach involves close collaboration with product owners and stakeholders to strategically define design directions, translating them into tangible assets like user flows, site maps, sketches, wireframes, and prototypes. I leverage tools like UserZoomGo for usability testing to optimize product usability and ensure design solutions align with client and user needs. **Portfolio:** [http://yashkotha.notion.site/portfolio](http://yashkotha.notion.site/portfolio)
