I'm a product designer passionate about crafting seamless, almost magical experiences where technology feels invisible and just works. With a background in information technology, I take a multidisciplinary approach to solving complex challenges, often for underserved or diverse user groups. I care deeply about creating culturally sensitive, inclusive design solutions that not only function but resonate.
What excites me most is designing for real-world impact, whether that means simplifying workflows, scaling systems, or empowering people to focus on what matters.
When I’m not designing intuitive experiences, you’ll find me reading, experimenting in the kitchen, or making art with my kids.
I reduce complexity by breaking down messy, ambiguous challenges into focused, user-centered solutions.
I design scalable workflows by automating processes and creating durable patterns that support long-term product growth.
I think beyond pixels. I care about business outcomes, technical constraints, and how designs evolve post-launch.
I use analytics, user feedback, and iteration to improve product performance and deliver measurable results.
I streamline experiences to eliminate friction, reduce manual work, and help users focus on what truly matters.
I bring ideas to life by collaborating across disciplines, translating strategy into shipped products, and continuously improving them after launch.

“I had the pleasure of working closely with Varshini for a few months. She was the first person to take the time to listen to our UX needs instead of making assumptions. She’s very knowledgeable and fun to work with. She made the design process simple, yet informative. Anyone would be lucky to have her as a team member.”
— Dante Walker, Legal Administrator at Arivo Acceptance
“I worked with Varshini for 3 years. She has been accused of being the nicest person on the planet — and I can't argue with that. She’s super kind and super thoughtful. While we worked together, she conducted user research, designed desktop apps, and mobile apps. She earned the company-wide Key Contributor Award multiple times. I would work with Varshini again.”
— Charlie King, CTO Arivo Acceptance
“Varshini is inquisitive, eager to experiment, research, and problem solve. While working together on a multi-step form flow, we created variants to test with users — and Varshini captured critical feedback to improve the design. Our cross-time-zone collaboration felt easy and natural, and we both learned from each other.”
