About
I’m Harish, a Senior Product Designer with deep experience in building simple, intuitive solutions for complex products. I specialize in networking, cybersecurity, and SaaS, where I turn technical workflows into clear and human-friendly designs.
My approach is user-centered: I start by understanding real needs and pain points, then design solutions that make technology easier, faster, and more meaningful to use. I focus on clarity, simplicity, and accessibility, ensuring that products work well for everyone.
Over the years, I’ve worked across multiple product areas—from dashboards and management portals to enterprise workflows—balancing business goals with user needs. My strength lies in translating complexity into straightforward, visual stories that help teams and customers connect with the product effortlessly.
User Research
I am good at user research and understanding because I am able to empathize with users and see the world from their perspective.
Visual Communication

Some of the guiding principles that I follow when designing
User-centered design: I always put the user first. I start by understanding the user's needs, goals, and pain points. Then, I design solutions that meet those needs and solve those problems.
Simplicity: I believe that the best designs are simple and easy to understand. I avoid using unnecessary complexity or jargon.
Consistency: I strive to create consistent designs across all platforms and devices. This helps users to learn and use the product more easily.
Accessibility: I design for everyone, including people with disabilities. I follow accessibility guidelines to ensure that my designs are usable by everyone.
