About

Hey, I'm Guna

A Product Designer who spends every day simplifying complex workflows into intuitive digital experiences.

As an engineering graduate, I'm deeply curious about AI, emerging technologies, and human behavior, and how they shape the future of product design. Over the years, I've built expertise across Research, Product UX, information architecture, UX Strategy, interaction design, and scalable design systems, shaping experiences that balance user needs, business goals, and product complexity.

Cinema, biryani, and good design. In roughly that order.

About / Journey

I Didn't Start My Career As A Designer

What keeps me excited

Not beautiful screens: uncovering the human story behind complicated systems and turning it into experiences that feel intuitive, trustworthy, and meaningful.

    Started as an engineer

    I started as an engineer in the automobile sector, surrounded by machines, processes, and complex systems. While the work taught me how things function, I found myself constantly drawn to a different challenge: understanding the people using those systems and figuring out how to make their work simpler.

    Photography to design

    Outside of work, I developed a passion for photography. From 2013, it was through editing my photos that I first started exploring tools like Photoshop and Illustrator. What began as a creative hobby soon turned into a curiosity about design, eventually leading me to teach myself UX and product design in 2018.

    Self-learning UX

    Since then, I've spent the last eight years designing enterprise products across logistics, heavy machinery, retail, finance, and data analytics. I've partnered with global teams, facilitated discovery workshops, translated research into product strategy, and designed experiences that help thousands of users complete complex tasks with greater confidence and less effort.

    Evolving through the UX journey

    Today at Deloitte, I work with cross-functional teams across product, engineering, and business to solve complex problems. Whether it's redesigning legacy enterprise platforms or simplifying data-heavy workflows, I enjoy bringing clarity where complexity exists.
