Featured case studies

A closer look at a few of the products I've helped build, from enterprise design systems to consumer marketplaces.

Enterprise Form Builder

Form Builder configures the forms behind regulated pharmaceutical workflows. It worked, but a legacy architecture and a multi-screen interaction model made it slow to use and expensive to extend. I designed the single-view WYSIWYG workspace that replaced it, built on PULSE, where creating, configuring and arranging a field all happen without leaving the canvas.

PULSE Design System

PULSE is the centralized design system I created to bring consistency, efficiency, and alignment across ValGenesis' product suite. As the organization scaled rapidly over five years, more than 10 product teams were designing and building features independently, producing fragmented experiences and growing inefficiency. PULSE became the shared source of truth: foundations, components, documentation, and the governance workflows that keep design and engineering moving together.

Enterprise SaaS Dashboard

SmartGxP Dashboard

SmartGxP's dashboard was capped at 9 widgets on a single, template-locked layout, a ceiling the platform had already outgrown. I led the redesign that broke that constraint with PULSE: a fluid, uncapped widget architecture built for 50-60 modules, true resize-and-reorder personalization, and up to 5 configurable dashboards per user.

Reimagining Enterprise Workflow Configuration

Workflow configuration on the legacy ValGenesis platform behaved like a spreadsheet: users had to read table rows to understand an entire review and approval process. I led the redesign that replaced it with a visual workflow canvas built on PULSE, turning invisible table logic into connected, readable workflow cards, and introducing a reusable pattern now shared across every SmartGxP application.

Learnable

New users understood workflows in minutes, no documentation needed

Faster

Workflow creation with far fewer interactions

Consistent

Same workflow pattern shared across every SmartGxP app

About

Product Designer focused on clarity and real-world use

Hi, I am Sakthi. I'm a UX Designer passionate about creating thoughtful, intuitive, and meaningful digital experiences.

Enjoy turning complex problems into simple, user-friendly solutions by combining research, strategy, and visual design. My approach goes beyond making interfaces look good: I focus on understanding user needs, identifying the right problems, and designing experiences that create real value.

Interested in product thinking, scalable design systems, and exploring how emerging technologies like AI can support and improve the design process.

Always curious, always learning, and excited to work on products that make a meaningful impact.

Principles

How I make decisions

Clarity over decoration

If a visual choice doesn't help someone understand or act faster, it's decoration. Enterprise users are working, not browsing. Clarity is the feature.

Systems over screens

Every screen I design is a statement about a system. I'd rather ship one flexible pattern than fifty one-off solutions that drift apart over time.

Data drives decisions

Opinions are a starting point, not an ending point. I pair qualitative research with usage data before calling a direction done.

Accessibility first

Accessible design isn't a pass at the end. It's a constraint from the first sketch. It almost always produces a clearer product for everyone.

Consistency scales

Consistency is what lets a twelve-team product organization move fast without stepping on each other. It's a discipline, not a default.

Prototype before debating

A rough working prototype resolves more design arguments in an hour than a week of slide decks. When in doubt, build the thing.

Off the clock

Most of the time I am not designing goes into these two.

Gaming

Split between a PC and a PS5. Good games are systems design with the stakes turned up.

Photography

Shot entirely on my phone. Mostly light, streets, and whatever the city is doing that day.

People ignore design that ignores people.
