Hello, I'm Deepak

I'm passionate about crafting intuitive, human-centered experiences. Driven by curiosity, I constantly explore new tools and ideas, integrating AI into my everyday workflow to expand what design can achieve.


I’ve built solutions across SaaS, fintech, nonprofit, AI systems & field service, approaching problems with systems-thinking that connects the big picture to the smallest interaction. For me, design is about shaping strategies that make technology feel effortless, sustainable, and meaningful for the people who use it.

My journey into design began during my undergraduate studies in multimedia & animation, where I developed a keen eye for visual storytelling

I interned as a Visual Designer at a hardware solutions company, where I witnessed first hand how design shapes the way people interact with technology.

Ever since I was a kid, Ive been fascinated by technology, not just how smartphones and computers work, but how they could be designed to make life easier and more enjoyable.

My Journey into Product Design

When the pandemic hit, like so many others, I found myself searching for something new to learn, something meaningful. That’s when I truly discovered UX design. At first, I wasn’t sure what it was all about, but the more I explored, the more it clicked. I started taking online courses and earning certifications, and with every step, I fell more in love with the idea of designing experiences that truly make people’s lives easier and more enjoyable.
