I'm a product designer from Chennai, India 🇮🇳 with over 6 years of experience creating intuitive and impactful digital experiences.

Currently I am leading the user experience design for the business travel and spend management product Zoho Expense.

I am a big believer that design is a way to level the playing ground, by building accessible designs. My most favourite part of the user journey is the onboarding. You can find my resume here or reach out to me at aditya.rangaramanan@gmail.com

I tried, I failed, I learnt :

I am always driven by experimenting and trying out different things, here are a couple of things I tried but didn't end up succeeding but learnt a ton from,

Back in 2019 I started a YouTube Channel when the field of "UX/UI" was starting to take off. I am someone who learns by teaching and this was my attempt at learning design. This helped me realise how powerful teaching someone can be but also I realised YouTube is not for me.
During the Covid lockdown, me and my buddies (Kiran & Kamal) built an app aimed at solving the parking problem in India through, here's a video that I made for the launch. We waited to achieve PMF but never did, we received offers to build white labelled solutions of the same but the crazy thought of wanting to build and release a product drove us away from building white labelled solution. Now I realise how big a mistake it was.

"What's the worst that can happen? They might say no?"

"What's the worst that can happen?

They might say no?"

"What's the worst that can happen? They might say no?"

The thought that drives me in everything that I do.
