Niranjan S — Product & UX DesignerOpen to work

Designing complex digital experiences that feel simple, human & beautiful.

Product & UX Designer, ex-IBM and IIT Kanpur. Based in Mumbai, India — open to roles in any city.

01 — About

Complexity is my medium. Clarity is the goal.

I'm a Product & UX Designer with a Bachelor of Design in Human-Computer Interaction from IIITDM Jabalpur. My work sits where complex systems meet everyday people — enterprise banking platforms, critical-infrastructure control interfaces, and immersive game systems.

Most recently at IBM, I designed wireframes, mock-ups, and interactive prototypes for India's largest public sector bank. Before that, at IIT Kanpur's C3iHub, I designed Human-Machine Interfaces for critical-infrastructure cybersecurity. I care about clarity, accessibility, and the small details that make a product feel effortless.

Beyond the screen

Filmmaking & photography

Outside of product work I'm a filmmaker and photographer — I've directed ad films for brands and founded Smile Studio. Framing a shot and framing a user flow turn out to need the same instinct: know what matters, cut the rest.

02 — Experience

Where I've shaped products.

Enterprise banking, critical infrastructure, games, and startups — each one taught me a new way to make the complex feel simple.
