Manifesto

I’m Aviral, a senior product designer from India. For 9+ years I’ve turned complex workflows into interfaces that feel obvious. I’ve led design and product decisions from a national e-auction platform to a Swiss clean-energy operating system, and I bring that same ownership to every team I join. I think in systems, prototype in motion and sweat the details until nothing needs explaining.

What I bring

  • Complex made obvious

    Dashboards, data-heavy tools and IoT platforms that people understand on first use. If a screen needs a tooltip to make sense, the screen is the problem.

  • Systems that scale

    Tokens, components and states first, so your product grows without drifting and engineers build it right the first time.

  • Ideas tested in code

    Prototypes in real code and motion that explains what just happened, so your team validates an idea before committing to build it.

Process

From scribble to shipped, one card at a time.

  1. Learn before drawing

    Interviews, support tickets and product data. I map the real pains and cluster them, with Claude helping sort the notes and me checking every theme against the raw quotes, so the work solves a problem people actually have — not one I imagined.

    User interviewsFigJamClaude

  2. Think on paper

    Fast, disposable ideas. I sketch flows and layouts before touching pixels, so the problem stays bigger than the UI.

    PaperFigJam

  3. Structure before style

    Grey boxes, real content, real constraints. ChatGPT helps me pressure-test the structure for edge cases, empty states and copy. Hierarchy and flows get agreed here with product and engineering.

  4. Built from the system

    Components, tokens and states from the design system, with contrast, focus and states checked against WCAG. Every value has a name, so nothing gets lost in handoff.

  5. Make it move

    Motion that explains what just happened: feedback, transitions, micro-interactions. When a click-through isn’t enough, I build a working prototype in code with Claude Code. Then usability tests with real users.

Experience2016 — now

From graphics to product design.

I started in 2016 with graphics, then made them move. Motion led to video, video to brand identity, brand identity to UI/UX, and UI/UX to product design. Every stop still shows up in how I work.

AboutHi
Aviral Bajpai smiling at a café table, holding his phone

Hi, I’m Aviral.

I started in 2016 making motion graphics and videos, moved through brand identity and packaging, and found my place in product design. That path is why I care as much about how a screen moves as about how it’s built.

Today I’m a Senior Product Designer at Smartlead.ai, working across the whole process: discovery and research, information architecture, flows, high-fidelity UI, the design system and developer handoff. Before that, I spent almost four years at Techjockey designing for web and mobile: a revamp of the marketplace that lifted B2B leads, dedicated platforms for hotels and enterprise buyers, landing pages and campaigns, and an in-house CRM.

AI is part of how I work every day. I use Claude and ChatGPT to sort research and pressure-test flows, and Claude Code to prototype in real code and polish UI straight in the front end. I built this site that way.

Working with Aviral has always been easy and productive. He brings clarity to design discussions, listens to engineering constraints without losing sight of the user experience, and finds practical solutions with us. He makes the design-engineering handoff feel like a true collaboration. He’s thoughtful, responsive, and always willing to jump in and figure things out together.
