Hi, I’m Ganesh

I design complex products and make them simple to use. When I’m not designing, I’m probably reading, running, watching movies, or thinking about One Piece for absolutely no reason.

My story

From engineering to design

I started out studying engineering, thinking I’d probably end up coding for a living. Turns out, coding wasn’t really my thing.

But I’ve always been the one asking why. Why a button sits where it does, why something works the way it does, why a decision got made. So I went looking for something else, found design, and joined a design bootcamp in Bangalore. A few freelance projects later, I got my shot at Taabi as an intern.

Two years at Taabi

Two years in, I’ve had the chance to work on 2 zero-to-one products, a bunch of redesigns, dashboards, and all the messy bits that come with building products from scratch.

What I enjoy and work with

What I enjoy most about design is making sense of messy problems, understanding how things work, figuring out where they break, and turning all that complexity into something people can actually use.

I work across product design, design systems, 0→1 products, enterprise UX, user research and rapid prototyping, in Figma and FigJam.
