Hey there!

I’m Yash Chheda

Senior UX Designer

I’m a Designer based out of Bengaluru, India who can help you improve user experiences by making your products accessible and intuitive.

My most recent role was as Lead User Experience Designer at Experion Technologies, where I designed Enterprise & SaaS experiences for some of the world’s biggest organisations.

    With over five years of  experience in UX Design, UX Research, Product Design and marketing I bring a focused set of skills to my mission to make delightful products.

    In addition to my full-time work, I have done consulting work for clients including Cult.fit, Zostel,Digital Consulting Pandit & Amnaya
    ‍
    I mentor aspiring and junior designers as a local leader with the Interaction Design Foundation.

    My Design Philosophy

    Accessibility

    Design should be accessible and scalable, allowing it to accommodate users with disabilities and account for varying languages and cultures. Accessibility shouldn’t be about legal compliance, but also as a standard design requirement.

    User-First

    We should never forget that there is a human on the other side of the screen. Anybody that touches the design, including developers and product managers, should spend time working directly with users if possible.

    Collaboration

    Good ideas can come from anywhere. Collaboration is a root element of innovation and discovery. Humility and communication go a long way towards fostering an environment of trust & true creativity.
