Hyderabad · UX / Product Design

Hey, I'm Sam.
I design things that make complex feel simple.

I'm a UX/UI designer with 5+ years in product design — right now that means developer platforms and design systems at Candescent, a fintech, plus independent projects on the side. Scroll — let me show you.

Sides of my practice — product & independent

A few things I've built

From enterprise product platforms to indie brand launches — here's a taste. The full list lives on the Work and Freelance pages.

Product Platform Design

Design systems & developer-facing consoles

Portals, sandbox flows, partner admin consoles, and discovery surfaces — designed so the person using them never has to think about the interface, just the task at hand.

App · Case Study

Troop Travel

Track your friends in real time and travel without the group-chat panic of "where did everyone go."

Website · E-commerce

PeepulTree

Rebuilt the e-commerce user flow and took conversion from 0.38% to 2.48% — a 6.5x jump, no smoke and mirrors.

A bit more

There's more to how I think about this work

Where I come from, how I ended up in design, and a couple of ideas I'm quietly building on the side. The About page is where I stop sounding like a resume.

A few frames from off the clock

Long drives, seminar stages, kitchen experiments — some of it fits on a slide, most of it doesn't. Hover to tilt one.

Camera loves a character — I just try to bring one.

Personal photo 2

Moody light, better angles. Some habits die hard.

Personal photo 3

Team's out, energy's up — best kind of Saturday.

Personal photo 4

On stage talking UX at UXINDIA'25. Seminars are my favourite kind of Monday.

Personal photo 5

Best ideas happen over a flat white, not a whiteboard.

Personal photo 6

Long drives, longer views — a weekly non-negotiable.

Personal photo 7

Mentoring the next batch of designers, mostly through jokes.

Personal photo 8

Deal with it. Monday standup, survived.

Personal photo 9

Cooking is just user-testing for taste buds.

Personal photo 10

Somewhere between a road trip and a good playlist.

Personal photo 11

Slides ready, coffee ready, presenting in five.

Personal photo 12

Low-key chaos, high-key fun. That's the brand.

Personal photo 13

Some frames are just for me — this is one of them.
