Kshitij Khandelwal

• Delivered end-to-end mobile and web product design for startup clients — designed platform-native iOS and Android experiences using Apple HIG and Material Design principles; shipped production-ready design in under 3 weeks per engagement.
• CN Foods (client engagement) — designed mobile and web experiences from wireframes to high-fidelity Figma mockups and interactive prototypes; wrote UX copy at key interaction moments alongside the interaction redesign, and worked with engineers to keep implementation platform-accurate.
• Integrated AI tools (Figma AI, Claude) into daily design workflow — used AI to accelerate iteration, expand creative exploration, and produce higher-quality outputs faster; maintained a high bar for visual craft and interaction quality throughout.
• Drove work from concept to execution independently — defined problem frames, mapped user flows, designed detailed interaction states, and owned developer handoff; iterated rapidly based on user feedback and stakeholder input.

• Led consumer product design on a 5M+ MAU mobile platform (iOS & Android) — ran A/B tests, analysed funnels, and iterated based on behavioural data, driving a ~35% reduction in cart abandonment on the redesigned checkout flow.
• Built a design system from 0-to-1 — components, variables, and documentation adopted by 5+ cross-functional teams; enforced platform-native consistency across iOS and Android and cut QA defects by ~40%.
• Advocated for design direction in cross-functional environments — presented design rationale and user insights to senior leadership, PM, Engineering, and Marketing; drove momentum on decisions with no clear precedent.

• Led user research and design across multiple B2B SaaS and consumer products on a functionality-driven platform — mobile and web, research through to shipped UI.
• Ran an experiment-led redesign of a core SaaS product — framed the problem, tested against real usage, and iterated the interface on what came back.
• Improved design-to-engineering handoff through structured documentation and design critique — presented rationale to PMs and engineers, and maintained brand and design-system consistency across multi-team delivery.
