I’m Saiteja, I design products that feel simple, even when they’re complex.

About me

Senior Product Designer with 5+ years of experience designing enterprise, fintech, and AI-powered products used by millions of people. I’ve led design systems used across 30+ platforms, built 0→1 products for startups and banks, and designed accessible experiences for users across 12+ languages. My work lives at the intersection of systems thinking, usability, and visual craft, turning complex workflows into simple, scalable, and human experiences.

Whether I’m shaping a design system, improving a core product flow, or building AI-driven tools, my focus is always the same: clarity, impact, and real-world usefulness.

Alongside my product work, I actively mentor early-career designers and lead hands-on UX and Figma workshops focused on design systems, accessibility, and real-world product workflows. I’ve hosted multiple sessions for students and junior designers, helping them bridge the gap between theory and industry practice through live critiques, system-building exercises, and portfolio guidance. Mentorship is a big part of how I give back to the design community

Work Experiences

Where I’ve grown, designed and contributed

Sep 2023 - Present

Product Designer

Cal State, East Bay

I improved accessibility for over 20,000 users by designing WCAG-compliant websites for multiple university departments and integrating them with the university’s data visualization dashboard. Alongside this, I created a unified style guide that thoughtfully blended Cal State branding with Ohlone tribal heritage standards to ensure a consistent and culturally respectful experience across platforms. By translating insights from Google Analytics and direct user feedback into targeted design enhancements, I helped boost overall engagement by 78%.

Nov 2022 – Aug 2023

Sr. Product Designer

LTIMindtree

I led a multidisciplinary team to design a unified design system from the ground up, which is now actively used across 30+ enterprise portals and helped increase feature delivery speed by 35% following a major merger. In parallel, I collaborated closely with product managers, engineers, and stakeholders to build over 12 web and mobile applications serving more than 350,000 users. Through usability testing, contextual interviews, and in-depth UX audits, I redesigned critical user flows for the eMpanel B2B HR platform, improving task completion rates by 38%.

Jul 2021 - Nov 2022

Product Designer

Kotak Mahindra Bank

I designed multiple 0–1 experiences across 15+ mobile, internet banking, and internal products, significantly improving task success rates while reducing user drop-offs. By leading a major redesign of Kotak’s super app, I drove a 64% increase in user retention and a 48% rise in transactions. I also ensured accessibility at massive scale by enforcing WCAG standards across platforms serving over 50 million users in 12 languages.

Jul 2019 - Jul 2021

Founding Product Designer

Prathama Design Agency

I led the end-to-end UX design for 13 mobile applications and 7 websites across e-commerce, HR, ed-tech, and other domains, delivering scalable, user-centered solutions. For Mirraw 1.0 and Mirraw Luxe, I streamlined onboarding and purchase flows for over 5 million global users, driving a 58% increase in user retention. I also collaborated closely with cross-functional teams to design the app, website, and admin dashboards for Every Pvt. Ltd., a multi-vendor eCommerce platform, supporting both admin and sub-admin user workflows.
