Hi, I'm Saurabh! 👋
I'm a UK-based Product Designer and Strategist who thrives on creating meaningful user experiences. My six-year design journey has been a mix of passion, curiosity, and a dash of "what if we tried it this way?". I recently earned my MA in Design Management with distinction from Coventry University (2022-23), adding to my BDes in Product Design from DLC SUPVA, India (2014-18). This combo of academic rigor and hands-on projects has given me both creative instincts and practical know-how to solve real-world problems through design.
Before moving to the UK for my studies in 2022, I had the incredible opportunity to lead the design of white-label experiences at Cvent in Gurugram, India. Working on projects like Venue Sourcing and Smart Custom Proposals wasn’t just about boosting user engagement or enhancing brand identity—though we nailed that—it was about bringing our vision to life for global hotel chains like IHG and Radisson. Watching our designs actively shape user experiences across the hospitality industry was an unforgettable career highlight.
When I moved to the UK in 2022, settling in Coventry, the automotive city of the UK, ignited my passion for cars and motorcycles. Instead of taking up a typical student job, I channeled that enthusiasm into co-founding Automotive Design Planet. What began as an Instagram page quickly evolved into a full-fledged website, attracting nearly 50K monthly views and reaching close to 1 million accounts on Instagram. While monetizing such a niche proved challenging, we chose to close it down in June 2024 and offer our content for free. This journey has given me invaluable hands-on experience in product management, content strategy, and UX design. On weekends, I still write about car design and automotive UX, keeping me connected to both my passion and the industry.
One quote that drives my design philosophy comes from Bridget van Kralingen:
“The last best experience that anyone has anywhere becomes the minimum expectation for the experience they want everywhere.”
This mindset constantly pushes me to elevate user experiences and ensure that everything I create exceeds expectations.
I’m now eager to bring my skills and experience to a full-time product design role. My background in design, combined with recent experience in content strategy and digital marketing, positions me well to create user experiences that captivate audiences and align with business goals. I'm excited about the opportunity to contribute to a dynamic team and work on projects that push the boundaries of design.
