Hi, I’m Vinay

Product Designer (UX/UI Focused) | Junior Full Stack Developer

I’m a Product Designer (UX/UI) who turns user research and product requirements into production-ready interfaces and the design systems that scale them. From there I bring those designs to life in the browser, building responsive, component-driven front-ends across AI, fintech, travel and enterprise products, while steadily growing into full-stack development.

About Me

I’m a Sydney-based Product Designer (UX/UI Focused) / Junior Full Stack Developer who runs the full design lifecycle, including stakeholder requirements, user research and competitor analysis, lo-fi to hi-fi iteration and complete interaction states, through to responsive interfaces that are live and used daily. I also help build what I design, bridging the gap between the product design and product development workflows.

A lot of that work now runs through AI-assisted workflows. I generate token-based design systems into Figma with Claude and Figma MCP automation, prototype quickly in Figma Make, and use design-to-code pipelines to turn approved screens into production front-end code. The aim is a shorter path from design intent to a working interface.

This approach has shipped real products. Tacy, the AI travel assistant I designed for Thomas Cook, is live on their website and used by thousands of travellers every day. Its Dynamic Packages release reinvents how people plan a trip, giving travellers the tools to create their own unique travel experiences.

For DCB Bank I owned the design of a proof-of-concept AI banking platform that led directly to a signed Purchase Order for three products. The first of those, the Individual Staff Account, is now live across the bank and has reset the standard for account opening in India’s private banking sector, cutting what used to take a day or two down to 15 to 20 minutes. I’m now designing the second, the Individual Savings Account, and helping build this product as well.
