Key projects I've recently worked on

Cross Platform UX

Service Design

Interaction Design

Crafted the first web app at Scapia for visa applications

After encountering multiple customer pain-points that had us self-reflecting about how users actually arranged their documents for Visa applications, I worked closely with product to translate a high-trust service experience into an easy one.

Seamless document upload across iOS, Android, and Desktop

Product Launch

UX Design

Interaction Design

Launched Scapia Visa for 45 countries

I had the opportunity to build a brand new travel product for Scapia, addressing a key retention gap in our user journey. Through user insights and rapid usability testing, I was able to simplify a step that people dread in their international travel.

Reduced application time by 1/3rd, decreased in-app user attrition

Trust & Compliance

Visual Design

UX Journey

Shipped Scapia's visually delightful train ticketing flow

I spoke to our users, conducted competitive benchmarking and heuristic deep-dives and translated my findings into a visually rich and user friendly trains booking experience while navigating tricky IRCTC compliance and multiple APIs.

Trains has the second highest activation among all travel categories on the platform

Generative AI

Interaction Design

Conversational AI

Designed Scapia's LLM based AI customer support layer

Most support queries didn’t need human intervention, yet agents handled over 60% of them. I worked with the product and CX teams to develop a chatbot trained on top queries - serving as the first layer of support and reducing agent dependency.

Decreased Average Handling Time by 41% and reduced agent deflection by 56%

Previous UX work

Usability Testing

Interaction Design

Product Detail Page

Redesigning country detail page for higher conversion

I reworked our old country detail page for Scapia Visas after seeing where users got stuck. Post usability testing, I pitched a cleaner, more engaging version - with testimonials, a visa image, simpler language, and an interactive price calculator. This helped users feel more confident about starting their application

Reduced drop offs, increased country page footfall and passport verification

Gamification

Interaction Design

Gamified spends management for Jar

Gave Spends Tracker a complete refresh - turning a clunky experience into an engaging, gamified journey where users could track, understand, and improve their savings with ease

Increased cross-sell click-through by 34%, and boosted discoverability

Retention

Subscriptions

Reducing autopay cancellation for Daily Savings

Helped redesign the entire autopay cancellation screen, informing users and incentivising them to continue their savings journey through personalised experiments and gamified savings calculations

Reduced cancellations by 11%, higher overall engagement

Interaction Design

Data Usability

Enhancing live gold buy price micro-widget

I redesigned Gold Buy Price for three consecutive versions - enhancing real-time data usability for live gold prices through interactions, setting price alerts, best offers, thereby increasing engagement.

Better data sanity and savings journey personalisation

Storytelling

Year-end Wrap

Visual Design

Jar Recap - end of the year savings story for 2023

I helped art-direct and develop the blackbox logic in collaboration with our team to create an end of the year Jar Recap for 2023, based on roadside card readers, fortune telling parrots and tarot cards to boost engagement and delight.

Stepwise conversion for each story

Search

Process Clarity

Overhauled search and filter for Cashbook UPI [YC]

Redesigned the search and filter feature in the app, introducing an advanced search system with alphanumeric support, and quick filters panel, addressing key usability gaps.

Drove a 60× increase in daily unique searches + 32× growth in weekly applied filters
